Wheelchairs for obese people titanium. Wheelchairs for obese people (reinforced). How to calculate the required size

Standard wheelchairs for adults have a maximum load of 115 to 120 kg. The frame for conventional strollers is made of steel or aluminum and is often lightweight. If the weight is over 120 kg and the user is heavy enough, we recommend buying a reinforced wheelchair. Due to the special reinforced wide structure and the use of more durable materials, such a stroller will be more reliable and stronger for heavy people than an ordinary one.

How are reinforced strollers different from simple ones? Specifications.

How to correctly calculate the width and depth of a wheelchair

To determine what size chair is right for you, you need to take some measurements. To determine the correct seat width, use a tape measure to measure the width of your hips at the widest points, taking into account the additional clothing you are using. The required seat depth is measured along the length of the thigh, measured from the edge of the buttocks, along the thigh, and to the knee bend. Subtract 5-7 cm from the resulting number and get the seat depth that suits you. The height of the armrests and footrests is adjustable in all wheelchair models.

Wheelchairs for obese people: all the nuances have been taken into account

A person whose physical capabilities are limited, in principle, has a hard time. And if he is overweight in addition, he is twice as heavy. After all, it is necessary to pick up not only clothes of large sizes, but also a roomy wheelchair that can withstand a serious load. Fortunately, manufacturers have taken care of this category of users as well. Nowadays it is not a problem to find a wheelchair with a high carrying capacity. You can choose either a simple model or a super functional one.

What should you pay attention to?

In this case, the main criterion is, of course, the carrying capacity. A conventional wheelchair is designed for users weighing up to 100-110 kg, but there are also models for heavier "passengers". Such devices can withstand a person who weighs up to 200 kg.

The dimensions of the wheelchair are no less important, because the user should be comfortable in it. If a person can hardly fit in a wheelchair, it is fraught with bedsores and abrasions. And if, on the contrary, there is more than enough space, then he will sit in the wrong position. Therefore, it is imperative to calculate the optimal seat width and depth. How to do it? Follow this diagram:

• the width of the seat is calculated based on the hip measurements of the prospective user. The person should be seated and the distance between the extreme points of the hips should be measured. Add five cm to the resulting figure - this will be the optimal value;
• The depth of the seat is calculated based on the length of the thigh to the extreme point of the buttock. The measurement is taken again in a sitting position. To find the optimum seat depth, subtract 50-75 mm from this figure.
• You should also pay attention to the armrests. It is desirable that they can be removed or folded back. This will allow you to effortlessly transfer a person from an armchair to a bed, or, conversely, from a bed to an armchair.

The breadth of choice

Overweight wheelchairs are as functional as ordinary wheelchairs. You can choose a mechanical model with a lever or manual drive, or you can electrically. The last option is a full-fledged vehicle (some seats even have a lighting system!), Capable of speeds up to 6 km / h.

Manufacturers also offer chairs with sanitary fittings. They are intended for the administration of natural needs and for taking a shower.

Paradoxically, there are even sports wheelchairs for obese people. If a person wants to lead an active lifestyle, neither excess weight nor illness will interfere with him!

Take care of your health and the health of those who are dear to you!

How to calculate the required size?

When choosing such a chair, it is necessary to carry out a number of measurements. Take a measuring tape and find out the width of the patient's hips, taking into account his clothes. This will be the required seat width.

Depth is calculated after the length of the hip, from the edge of the buttock to the knee bend. From the result obtained, you will need to subtract 5-7 cm. Do not worry about the height of the armrests and legs, as they lend themselves to adjustment in any chair model.
