Wheelchairs are an important tool for rehabilitation. They are not only a means of transportation for the physically disabled and the disabled, but also a means for them to exercise and participate in social activities with the help of wheelchairs. So, what should be paid attention to when using a wheelchair? How to maintain the wheelchair?
1. First of all, pay attention to safety. When entering or exiting the door or encountering obstacles, do not use a wheelchair to hit the door or obstacles (especially for the elderly, most of whom have osteoporosis and are vulnerable to injury).
2. When pushing the wheelchair, ask the patient to hold the wheelchair armrest and sit back as far as possible. Do not lean forward or get off by yourself; To avoid falling, add tie straps if necessary.
3. Because the front wheel of the wheelchair is small, small obstacles (such as pebbles, ditches, etc.) may cause sudden stop of the wheelchair during fast driving, which may cause the wheelchair or the patient to tip forward and hurt the patient. The wheelchair pusher must be careful, and can pull back if necessary.
4. When pushing the wheelchair down the slope, the speed should be slow. The patient's head and back should lean back and grasp the handrails to avoid accidents.
5. Observe the patient's condition at any time. If the patient has edema, ulcer or joint pain in his lower limbs, he can lift the leg support and cushion it with a soft pillow.
6. In cold weather, pay attention to keeping warm. Lay the blanket directly on the wheelchair. Also, wrap the blanket around the patient's neck and fix it with a pin. At the same time, wrap the blanket around both arms and the pin at the wrist. Then wrap the upper body. After taking off the shoes, wrap the lower limbs and feet with the blanket.
7. Wheelchairs should be checked frequently, lubricated regularly, and kept in good condition for standby.
