Best Practices For Wheelchair Safety And Selection
There are many things to consider before you purchase a wheelchair. Regardless of whether you want a manual or powered chair, consider the following:
1. Folding or rigid frames?
On manual chairs, folding frames are the usual conventional type having an X brace in the center allowing the frame to be folded sideways. Folding is simple, but a chair of this type tends to be bulky as well as quite heavy. New versions of lighter materials are now available, but regardless of this point because folding frames involve many parts, it is heavy compared to a rigid frame. Rigid frame joints are welded and a lightweight aluminum material is used, enabling one to transfer the wheelchair into the car without help.
2. It's all about comfort: get the footrest angled perfectly
An angle footrest is measured from the horizontal or is regarded from the side, whereas tapered footrests are regarded from the front, and joins both feet at the bottom, providing more clearance when turning. However, if you have limited hip and knee joint flexibility, this can be uncomfortable.
3. Don't overlook the handrim
Note that the overall diameter of a handrim will affect its propulsion. This means that having a large diameter climbs will be easier and with a diameter that is much smaller, it brings about a lot of speed on a flat surface.
4. It's all about the wheels
While spoked wheels are lighter, they require extra maintenance with continued use. Composite wheels on the other hand usually wear out at the bearing escalations. Then, the zero camber gives a slender wheelchair measurement. When the camber is increased, the measurement at the wheel's botton is also increased and the measurement at the top is decreased, providing steadiness and turning can be done with ease.
5. Wheel locks
These are of two types namely the under-seat and the side mounted. The side mounted type provides easy operation, though one has to be careful when pushing as thumbs can easily be caught in the wheel lock. Whereas the under-seat type can pas up to this problem, it is much difficult to use since it calls for reaching under the seat.
6. Front and back balance
Check the balance well - as if the rear wheels are very much far forward to the frame, the user can tip backwards. Also, the chair will be hard to push if the wheels are put too far backwards.
Wheelchair safety measures:
- Always make sure that your wheelchair is in good condition all the time.
- When using a power wheelchair, be certain to turn the power off when leaving it at a slope or inclined place.
- When pushing a patient, inform her first before you move the wheelchair.
- When not moving, use brakes.
- Do not attempt to go up or to go down on steep slopes.
- When pushing a patient on a manual wheelchair, be sure that your speed should not exceed that of brisk walking.
- When transferring a patient to a wheelchair, be sure to raise the footplates before doing so. Then lower the footplates after and place the patient's feet onto the footplates.
- Avoid passing through grassy or pebbled plains.
- When crossing the street, be sure to stop, look and listen.
Safety on power wheelchairs:
- Choose a type with mechanical brakes that can be released or set by the user.
- For outdoor use, a power wheelchair must have power large wheels at the front and never free swinging casters.
- For the user with an impaired hand or arm, install an orthotic elbow or arm support so as to aid the hand when operating the controls.
- Shut off breaking sensors can detect when a wheelchair is moving out of control and quickly shut off the power.
- Mechanical brakes can bet set by the user with normal hand functions.
- Check the batteries before you go out that they are fully charged, every time.
- Always keep a cell phone handy. You'll never know emergencies might happen.
- A power wheelchair has many of the same parts as a car. Have it checked by a professional every three months for safety, and check it daily yourself.

Is safety glass used in all exterior home doors?
I locked myself out today, without keys, shoes, or cellphone, and with my oven on. None of my neighbors are home during the day, so I decided I had to get inside somehow. We have a back door with the top half of the door being glass with wood squares forming or simulating panes. I tried to break out one pane with a hammer and after beating on the glass with all my might for quite awhile it didn't break. I was finally able to use a long flathead screwdriver between the door knob and frame and pop open the door (which is ok because we also have a dead bolt we can use). Now I'm wondering if all exterior doors have safety glass? This made me feel much better about break-ins considering I had such a horrible time breaking into my own home!
it depends on the age. glass in small panes is quite strong. if its a newer door then yes it would be tempered safety glass which has 4 times the strength of regular glass.
