Compared with the traditional electric mobility scooter, electric car, electric bicycle and other mobility tools. The essential difference of the electric wheelchair between them, is the wheelchair has an intelligent manipulation controller. And the controller types are various, there are rocker type controllers, but also with the head or blowing suction system and other kinds of switch control controller, the latter is mainly suitable for the use of severely disabled people with upper and lower limb disabilities.
Nowadays, electric wheelchairs have become an indispensable means of mobility for the elderly and the disabled with limited mobility. They are applicable to a wide range of objects. As long as the user has clear consciousness and normal cognitive ability, it is a good choice to use electric wheelchairs.
Generally, older people are being less convenient and less powerful for walking due to their aging body. If an elderly person likes to go out, under the condition that there is no problem with elevators as well as charging and storage, we can consider buying them an electric wheelchair. But because of the age their reaction slow down, even electric wheelchair would not be good enough, not to mention the manual wheelchair that is taking too much effort. Find a care giver to accompany the elder to go out is a relatively more secure choice.
A manual/electric mode switchable wheelchair could be a better choice compared with normal wheelchairs. The elderly can use the manual mode to support the implementation of auxiliary exercise, when feeling tired they can sit for rest and use electric mode. An electric wheelchair for the elderly to achieve dual-use mobility exercise, greatly reducing the chances of accidental falls and injuries caused by the elderly because of leg and foot inconvenience.
Do not blindly pursue electric or manual when buying a wheelchair for the elderly, we should according to the situation and conditions of the elderly themselves, as well as to obtain the consent of the elderly to choose a wheelchair that is the most comfortable, the most suitable for the elderly.
