Typical Measurements: Have you ever felt restricted by one-size-fits-all wheelchair options? You’re not alone! Around 80-90% of wheelchair users don’t find a proper fit with configurable standard sizes.
Restricted Choices: Some wheelchairs lack versatility and can limit your ability to stay active. Basic designs with few options might not cater to your individual needs.
Bulky Materials: Not all wheelchairs are designed for efficiency. Some use cumbersome materials and have a modular design, making them heavy and requiring more effort to push, manoeuvre, and lift.
The Impact
Poor Posture: Ill-fitting wheelchairs force your pelvis and spine into uncomfortable positions, potentially leading to health issues like fatigue, pain, infections, and respiratory problems.
Uncomfortable: Being uncomfortable not only affects your confidence but also increases the risk of health problems and pain, as reported by 59% of people with spinal cord injuries.
Fatigue and Stress: A heavy wheelchair can limit performance and make it challenging to use. More energy is needed to propel and manoeuvre, increasing fatigue and stress on the upper body.
