A Guide To Manual Wheelchairs in Dubai, UAE

A wheelchair is a wheeled mobility device that allows the user to sit and move around. The equipment can be propelled either manually (by turning the wheels by hand called manual wheelchairs) or automatically (through electric motors). People who find walking difficult or impossible due to illness (physiological or physical), injury, or disability use wheelchairs.

A manual wheelchair helps people become more independent and mobile.  Wheelchairs come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and are used for a number of purposes (like lightweight manual wheelchairs, a foldable manual wheelchair, a manual standing wheelchair, etc). Whatever wheelchair you pick, it's essential to know its limitations and how to use it safely.

If you have the ability to push your wheelchair, you will need what is known as a manual wheelchair. The user propels these wheelchairs by pushing the back wheels' rims. The best manual wheelchairs can be bought from Sehaaonline. They have the best branded and quality-graded medical equipment.

Rigid Frame Versus Folding Frame

There are two types of wheelchairs to think about- A Rigid Frame Wheelchair and a Folding Frame Wheelchair.

A rigid frame wheelchair is usually made up of a welded frame on which the person sits. The back of the chair has the ability to fold down, and the wheels have a quick release mechanism to enable easy transportation and storage of the wheelchair. The majority of rigid frame wheelchairs are composed of aluminium or titanium, however some specialty wheelchairs are built of carbon fibre. Without its wheels, a lightweight rigid frame wheelchair might weigh as little as 10 pounds. The chair will be easier to push because it is lighter, putting less strain on your shoulder joints.

 

A folding frame wheelchair is one with a sideways collapsible frame thanks to an X mechanism in the frame. This mechanism is lockable, and the wheelchair folds on release of two locking levers on the chair. The folding wheelchair is usually heavier than a rigid frame wheelchair since it has an X mechanism, locking levers, and reinforcing struts. Folding wheelchairs also have movable footrests which allow the chair to collapse. Early folding chairs were made from steel, but nowadays they are made from aluminium or titanium.
