Learn More About Wheelchair Accessories

If you use a wheelchair to get around, you know just how useful it can be. More often than not, they can be your ticket to independence despite having limited mobility due to a medical condition or injury. Many models come equipped with innovative features that make it easy to operate your device.

As time goes on, you may come to realize that certain wheelchair accessories might improve your experience.

Wheelchair Cushions

Before we explore the different options, it’s important to learn about safe patient handling. This might seem obvious, but the caregiver needs to be properly trained on how to use the patient lift and sling. These devices are designed to protect the safety of the patient as well as the caregiver. Whether it’s a healthcare professional in a hospital or a home caregiver that will be operating the device, they must first receive proper training. The patient should also learn about safe operation to help avoid bruises, falls, skin tears, and other painful injuries.

Wheelchair Safety Accessories

When you’re operating a wheelchair, your safety should always be the top priority. You’ll be glad to know there are various accessories that will keep you safe. Some people may require a special footrest for extra stability. If you would feel safer wearing a seat belt when operating your device, that’s always an option. If you own a manual model, you may benefit from a pair of gloves that will protect the skin on your fingers while also reducing fatigue.

Other Accessories

We’ve only just begun to scratch the surface on all of the wheelchair accessories you’ll be able to choose from. There’s a wide array of ramps that will provide safe and reliable access when you enter and exit your home. Another option to consider is a wheelchair cover to protect your device from the elements and anything else that may cause unwanted damage.
