Power Assist Add-Ons For Wheelchairs Power assist add-ons enable wheelchair users to travel longer distances and traverse difficult terrain. They also reduce the effort required to propel. This leads to lower heart rates and less muscle fatigue. These chairs are simple to transport and don't change the look of manual chairs. They are also extremely simple to use. WheelDrive Front wheel drive wheelchairs are the most stable and powerful. The large drive wheels can “grab” the road and enable the chair to tackle difficult terrain such as gravel, grass or steps. This configuration is also a great option if you have to maneuver your chair around tight spaces because you can easily make sharp turns using the front drive. During the wheelchair selection process your therapist or Assistant Technology Professional (ATP) will take into consideration which base and components are best suited to your requirements. An auxiliary power assist add-on is also something to consider. There are many options available for power assistance, such as front-wheel add-ons add-ons, and rear-wheel add-ons. The new and refreshed WheelDrive add-on by Sunrise Medical features a dual rim design that offers different driving modes. The large 'assist ' rim offers additional power assistance with each push, which helps reduce fatigue and lets you increase the distance you push. The smaller 'drive rim' offers continuous power to aid in climbing. The WheelDrive is simple to install on virtually every manual wheelchair without any additional parts or modifications and can be switched between two driving modes using an intuitive power button. The power assistance is provided by the hub motor, which is a brushless design. It is powered by detachable lightweight batteries that can be fully charged in less than two hours. The compact design and easy operation make it an ideal option for those who require an extra boost when traveling further distances. The WheelDrive requires no maintenance, unlike power assist accessories powered by batteries which can be difficult to keep in good order. We recommend that you contact one of our ATPs for more information and to see a demonstration if you are thinking about adding a power wheelchair with front-wheel drive to your manual wheelchair. If self propelled wheelchair with suspension My Mobility Scooters considering the new Empulse 4Front 2 power wheelchair The standard FrontDrive system includes iLevel, which raises your safe seat elevation up to 12 inches. This allows you to complete the mobility-related tasks of your daily life such as reaching, toileting and grooming at a higher height. Rear Power Assist add-ons Power add-ons for wheelchairs can be a great way to reduce the amount of work required to push a manual chair. They also aid in maintaining shoulder health and ease the fear of injury associated with continuous, repetitive manual propulsion. You can travel further, climb steep slopes, and maneuver through challenging environments by incorporating power assist into your chair. Wheelchair power add-ons can be classified into rear attachments (such as the SmartDrive), front attachments that raise the caster wheels of a manual wheelchair off the ground and replace them with a larger centered wheel (similar to bicycles) such as the BATEC Manual or Rio Dragonfly, and hybrid systems that include both of these features. Front attachments can be controlled with a hand-rim-activated system like the Alber Smoov, Klaxon Twist or SmartDrive. Rear attachments are, on the other hand are devices that convert joysticks, like the Alber E-Motion and SmartDrive. Some of these wheelchair add-ons utilize rechargeable batteries as do others such as the WheelDrive are connected to the wheelchair motor and powered by the energy generated by wheel rotation. These that are powered by a battery are usually lighter and compact than those that are powered by the kinetic energy generated by the wheel rotation. One of the most popular wheelchair power accessories is the Spinergy ZX-1, which attaches to the back axle of rigid and folding frame active wheelchairs and has three different support levels that can be changed with the push of one button. It is also simple to transfer from manual to power mode and back. Another alternative is the BATEC Manual Power Assist Wheel, which also has three different support levels and can be controlled using the joystick, which makes it ideal for people who require varying degrees of assistance from power sources in various environments. These power add-ons can be helpful in reducing pressure on elbows and shoulders. This allows you to travel farther and with less effort. This is particularly beneficial when you are concerned about the impact of long-distance propulsion on your shoulders. Active Wheelchairs for Users A wheelchair for active users is one specifically designed for those who lead an in a busy lifestyle and want to remain independent and mobile. They are lighter and more maneuverable than standard self-propelled wheelchairs, so users will experience less wear and wear on their upper bodies. They can also travel for longer distances through challenging terrain without the need for assistance. A wheelchair designed for an active life will have an elongated frame to enhance maneuverability. The rear wheels of a wheeled chair designed for active use are usually larger than standard ones, allowing users to reach them easily and move forward. The backrest height is usually lower to enable the user to move their arms and shoulders freely while self-propelling. Powered add-ons are another great method to make your active wheelchair more efficient as they can provide additional power when needed. This is useful when climbing hills, travelling long distances, or when the user is tired. A powered add-on can be controlled by the user through voice commands or by adjusting their eyes, which can help with independence and reduce the need for someone else to push them. The E-bike attachments to wheelchairs are a brand new and exciting way to improve mobility and efficiency. These attach to the front wheel of a wheelchair and transform it into a handbike with three wheels, which allows users to travel more quickly and further than they could by themselves. This is a great option for those looking to commute to work or to run errands, or just want to enjoy a leisurely ride. A power bike add-on can be adjusted to suit the user's needs and preferences and preferences, with various rear wheel angles available along with an adjustable seating tension and footrest position. This provides the ultimate in flexibility and individualization. Foldable Power Assist Device Power add-ons can be attached to the rear wheels of manual wheelchairs to replace their current rear wheels. They are simple to use and permit the user to go on more distances with less effort. They are usually lightweight and have advanced control systems to alter programming, monitor battery level and fault detection remotely. These are aftermarket components that can be mounted on a wide variety of manual wheelchairs including folding models. Examples include the SmartDrive MX2+ or Alber Smoov. The device is activated by pressing a button or switch, and is controlled using a wireless wristband. Some come with an integrated push tracker that records how much power the add-on was used. They enable individuals to travel longer distances without fatigue and assist them to climb slopes and other obstacles with ease. They are perfect for helping users maintain their independence by continuing to participate in daily activities and working, as well as socializing with friends and family and enjoy more freedom to travel for leisure. In certain instances, the use of power assist can help prevent sores caused by pressure by reducing the amount of force being put on the body by the user. They can also cut down on the time required to perform tasks that require mobility, and make it easier for individuals to conquer obstacles such as steps, inclines and curb cuts. Many foldable power-assist gadgets offer the added benefit of being portable, enabling users to take their wheelchairs with them on their trips in the family vehicle without the need for a fully-equipped van. They can be removed from the chair to travel for work or other activities, and then reattached when they return home. This could help people keep their job, volunteer or other activities to remain an active member of the community and contribute to society. When not in use, non-folding power assist devices are usually heavier and bulkier. They are often foldable and can be used with their accessories removed to make more space. They can be tucked away in the trunk of a regular family car, allowing people to travel with their families to work and other locations and visit relatives and friends.
