Quadriplegic Wheelchairs
Published: March 12, 2014
Though we specialize in power wheelchairs and scooters at Precision Repair Network, we understand the value that traditional wheelchairs provide. In confined spaces, traditional wheelchairs are often a better option than powered devices, as they tend to be smaller and lighter. They can also provide a means of transportation should your power wheelchair require maintenance or repair.
However, with a non-powered wheelchair, mobility comes at the expense of the user – or someone who can push the device. This is where Wheelchairhandles comes in.
A New Approach to Handles
What distinguishes Wheelchairhandles from traditional handles is their design. Rather than protruding from the wheelchair horizontally, they extend vertically, allowing the individual pushing the wheelchair to get better leverage. The design allows for improved control of the wheelchair, regardless of the individual's age, size or strength.
The reason that the handles work so well is that they provide a more ergonomic pushing position. Unlike horizontal handles, which place a strain on muscles in the arms and back, the vertical Wheelchairhandles provide three different grip options, all of which allow the arms and backs to be better positioned for less muscle strain. These grip options are the pistol grip, overhand grip and underhand grip.
If you have a non-powered wheelchair, you may want to consider Wheelchairhandles. They're designed to improve comfort and effectiveness, and perhaps best of all, mount directly to your wheelchair's traditional horizontal handles.
