Questions & Answers

Question : For folks in wheelchairs: What is the most challenging aspect of living in a wheelchair?
I had my leg amputated last year and have been in a manual wheelchair since then. (My prosthesis isn't fitting properly and I am having delays in my insurance coverage to change that.) My finances are very limited.What are some things I need to know about living in a wheelchair that an average person wouldn't know. Any tips on staying healthy and fit?Any fun ideas to help make it more joyfull? Any practical tips on getting around and taking things from room to room.How to stay comfortable. I live in it most of the time.Thanks in advance for your kind support. :)luvs, :)

Answer:
I am an amputee (result of traffic accident.) I don't know where you live so it is hard to give advice on what's available. Swimming is your best bet for keeping fit. A table on wheels that has sides (nothing falls off in transit) Keep bandaging your stump, eventually the swelling will go down. If you can eventually walk, forget the pain and realise the gain! I have been upright for 24yrs now. It took three years for my compo to pay for the accident and my prosthesis, if you need more advice email me. I am in Australia!There is a free limb scheme here.

Question : how can someone suffering from spinal cord injury operate power or manual wheelchair?
how can someone suffering from spinal cord injury operate power or manual wheelchair?

Answer:
It completely depends at what level their spinal cord injury is. Each spinal segment controls a different set of muscles. It is very complicated, but generally the spinal segments in the neck control the arms, (and a really high spinal cord injury would even prevent you from breathing on your own) and your lower back spinal segments control your legs. So if you had a spinal cord injury at L2, you wouldn't be able to move the muscles that L2 moves and down from there. You don't just lose function at that segment such as L2, you lose all function below that point also. Like I said it is very complicated, but generally motor areas supplied by a spinal segment are called myotomes and then sensation is a whole other thing a supply to them is called dermatomes. Here's a site that helps explain it better then I can. Neuro was definitely the hardest class I had to learn to become a physical therapist. Hard, but very interesting.http://www.apparelyzed.com/myo-dermatomes.html

Question : how to convert a manual wheelchair to a motorized wheelchair?
i saw a lady in a manual wheelchair with a conversion kit which made her wheelchair motorized, you can see the wheelchair is a manual because it has the manual wheels and then you see the additional equipment to make it motorized. i did not think to stop her to ask her, but since then i have wanted to do that to my manual chair......could anyone help, please give me web sites if you know them thanks in advance for yor help

Answer:
These kits used to be pretty common, but everyone I know who made them has since gone out of business.Personally, other than the Wheelchairs of Iowa (Sheldon, Iowa) version, I thought the rest of them were rather a waste of time and money- poor power, low speeds, interfered with manual use, etc.

Question : How much is it to rent a manual wheelchair for a few days?
I live in Toronto Canada, and am interested in renting a wheelchair for a few days. How much would it cost and also, where should i get it? I dont care if it is used.. Thank youPS: I'm really cheap, i dont need it to be in good condition. I just need it for a short part in a film, and it does not need to go fat or anything, and it doesnt need to be very durable.

Answer:
Curt, ask at the hospital, there may be a place that has loners for you to use. That's where I got my wheel chair when I broke my ankle and I had free use of it for over 3 months.

Question : I am looking for a manual wheelchair that will break down into parts for transport-please help?
I am looking for a manual wheelchair that will break down into parts for transport-please help?

Answer:
Go online to Invacare.com. While WC's can be broken down it is usually only the arms that come off. My parents brought a WC from invacare that only wears about 15 pounds and my 80 year old mother can easily put it in the car. My 86 year old dad is a rather large man and he has no problem with using this WC. It is still stron enough for him to use eventhough it is lightweight. Invacare also has alot more things that help with disabled people.

Question : I want to be able to make a normal manual wheelchair go easily on sand any ideas??
Ioften go to beaches with friends but they are always having to pull the chair through the sand...I kno they make those chair for sand but it just ends up being a bigger pain...does anyone have any ideas on modifications that can be made to the chair so it will roll on sand or have you ever heard of anything being done to a normal manual chair to make it go on sand. any information is appreciated.

Answer:
Those looking for optimal performance roll up a notch complete off-road wheel sets, where bigger is better. Based on mountain bike wheels - but with recessed wheelchair hubs and handrims - off-road wheel sets offer full-profile mountain bike rims and tires, providing widths of 2" or more. Going from a 1-3/8"-wide wheelchair wheel assembly to a 2"-wide mountain bike wheel assembly may not read as impressive - but, the performance enhancement is striking. The 2"-wide tires float over soft surfaces into which wheelchair wheels commonly sink; the wider footprint increases stability and traction on uneven terrain; the beefy rims and heavy-guage spokes dramatically increase wheel durability; and, the large, low-pressure tires provide a shock-absorbing ride. From sand to snow to street, off-road wheels simply provide a wider, higher-traction footprint that noticeably improves a wheelchair's ability to negotiate the rough stuff, and stay atop softer surfaces.http://www.wheelchairjunkie.com/offroadwheels.html Read the drawbacks, you may need to change the wheels {width in house} or have 2 chairs. I would get a used chair, class it up with neoprene and put the wheels on it. Be good for the yard too.

Question : Head/neck support in a manual wheelchair?
My elderly, invalid mother spends her waking hours in a manual wheelchair. (A basic model -- just a low canvas-like back to the thing.) I use the term "waking" liberally -- she sleeps very irregularly all through the day and night, and frequently dozes off in her chair. When she does, her head tends to loll back, and she often wakes from these "catnaps" with a stiff neck.Does anyone make some sort of attachment that can be added on to such a chair when needed? One that would provide head and neck support when she dozes? I imagine it would have to be something that would attach to the metal supports/frame on either side of the canvas back. I can picture such a device in my mind, but home-brewing one is out of the question as I am not mechanically inclined. (I barely know which end of a screwdriver to use...) Anyone ever see such an animal at a medical supply place? I've researched the Net and made a few calls and no one seems to understand what I want. Thanks!

Answer:
Yes there are wheelchair attachments that support the head and neck and different varieties too. Check here for one:http://www.necksolutions.com/headrest-wheelchair.htmlThere is another one here:http://www.medicalproductsdirect.com/whacadheandn.htmlIf they don't suit you do a general search in Google for wheelchair headrests.

Question : what website could i find a manual wheelchair, but not the kind thats in hospitals, the permanent kind?

Answer:
Do a search on "manual wheelchairs". I have linked to a buyers guide that lists some things you might want to consider before choosing one.

Question : what steps would i take to check the safety of a manual wheelchair?
what steps would i take to check the safety of a manual wheelchair?

Answer:
If you are just looking for the safety of the chair. First be sure the brakes are working well. The foot rests should also be able to lift up and down easily and able to swing open. the chair should fit the person comfortably so make sure the backrests are proper the arm rests are in the right location and the person can move the wheels easily.
