Why Choose a Power Wheel Chair?
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios


Defined Tag:

A power wheel chair, also sometimes called an electric wheel chair, allows for better mobility for someone who is unable to maneuver a manual wheel chair. This can be due to an inability to move the hands, shoulders and arms. Most of these have six wheels and a joystick or some other mechanism to move them. They can be used indoors or outdoors and can move forward, backwards, to the side or even spin on the spot. Depending on the model these wheel chairs are designed to do many things. Some of them can raise the seat by as much as six inches. This enables the person in the wheel chair to reach counters easier when they want to cook or wash dishes. Then it can be lowered to more comfortably sit at the table for a meal.

Of the one hundred and eighty thousand wheel chair users who have suffered spinal cord injuries in the United States forty percent of them are over forty five and twenty five percent of them have lived with their injuries for more than twenty years. This is an important point since aging is one of the things that can play a part in the decision to get a power wheel chair. Other deciding factors include finding that getting around is becoming more difficult, suffering from shoulder pain after being out for a while or the feeling that all your energy is going into getting somewhere instead of enjoying yourself when you get there.

If you are finding yourself dealing with the tiredness of getting around in a manual wheel chair it is not wrong to consider purchasing one that will make your life easier and your adventures more fulfilling. These wheel chairs are more expensive but the benefits of added mobility will outweigh the expense. As well, there are often grants to help pay for them. The power wheel chair operates electrically with a battery that can be recharged by plugging into any household electrical outlet. It usually takes the full night to charge, but in the morning the wheel chair is ready to go.
