About :
Choosing the right size of a wheelchair is a very important step. We will tell you what measurements you need to take. The main ones are measuring the patient in 5 main positions. Please note that all measurements must be taken directly in the wheelchair. 0:30 Seat width The measurement is taken at the widest points of the hips using a tape measure. Add 5 cm to the resulting value. When measuring, you should also take into account the possibility of the user wearing thicker clothing. Or you can sit in a wheelchair, and a palm in a vertical position should fit between the patient's thigh and the side of the wheelchair on both sides. 1:15 Seat depth The measurement is taken with a tape measure from the edge of the buttock along the thigh to the inner bend of the knee. Then subtract 5 - 7.5 cm from the resulting value. Or you can measure the distance from the back tube to the front edge of the wheelchair, provided that the measurements are taken on the wheelchair. 1:26 Footrest height The measurement is taken from the heel or the edge of the heel (if the patient wears shoes) to the hip level. It is advisable to use a sitting cushion when taking measurements. 1:53 Seat height The purpose of the measurement is to prevent the formation of pressure zones on the skin in the area of the ischial tuberosities and popliteal region, and to provide the patient with the correct height for optimal movement conditions. The seat height is measured by adding 5 cm to the length of the bent leg. This will ensure correct connection of the footrest with a safe gap from the floor - at least 5 cm. 2:36 Armrest height To help patients maintain correct posture in the chair and ensure balance, it is necessary to measure from the seat surface to the elbow. Add 2.5 cm to the resulting value. The armrests are installed at this height. We remind you that all measurements must be taken in a wheelchair.
