How to choose between an electric wheelchair and a manual wheelchair?
Nowadays, with the accelerated aging of the population, the number of wheelchair users is also increasing, as a kind of assistive device, it can meet the needs of patients and the elderly who have difficulty in walking. Do you also have doubts about "how to choose a wheelchair"? Here is a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of these two types of wheelchairs.


The manual wheelchair is simple in structure, simple to use, can be learned quickly, and the manual wheelchair is lightweight and portable, without considering the problem of charging and battery life. It can also help users exercise arm muscles, nerve tissue, body coordination, etc. However, it consumes physical strength, and it is impossible to free hands during use, and long-term use may cause overwork injuries in some parts. Therefore, the use of a manual wheelchair requires a short period of use, sound function of both upper limbs, and a certain degree of muscle strength and mobility.


Although the electric wheelchair is a smart product, the controller button is clear , and the operation is simple and basic. There are generally lightweight electric wheelchairs and electric wheelchair foldable. The weight is light and the folding volume is small. Compared with manual wheelchairs, lightweight electric wheelchairs and electric wheelchair foldable are generally larger, and the volume is larger after folding. But consider the problem of charging and endurance. The use of electric wheelchairs is suitable for long -term use, clear minds, left -hand or right hand can flexibly operate the control lever, want to save effort and safer, or want some special features (such as climbing, off -road, standing, etc.).

And our company also divides wheelchairs into 6 categories, namely aluminum wheelchairs, leisure&sports wheelchair series, electric wheelchairs, steel wheelchairs, cerebral palsy wheelchairs, and commode wheelchairs to set up exclusive function of various people. In short, whether it is a manual wheelchair or an electric wheelchair, everyone must choose according to the actual situation of the user.
