Using A Wheelchair: Core Things To Know

  If you're thinking about getting a wheelchair nz, you probably have a lot of questions. Whether it's for a temporary need or a permanent one, there are many things to consider before deciding whether a wheelchair is the right choice for you. We'll go through some of those considerations here.

It's not just a wheelchair.

When you're using a wheelchair, it's not just a chair. It's a mobility device and an important tool for your independence. In order to get the most out of your wheelchair, here are five things to know:

Your wheelchair needs maintenance just like any other piece of equipment. Make sure that you take care of it by always keeping it clean and lubricated so that it remains in good working order for years to come!

It's not all about the chair.

It's not all about the chair. A wheelchair is a tool that you can use, but it doesn't mean that you need to use it all the time. You can transfer out of your wheelchair and walk around, or even run if you want! It's important to know what your body can do before getting into one because sometimes people think they are disabled when really they aren't at all.

There are many kinds of wheelchairs.

There are many kinds of wheelchairs. In general, there are three types:

• Transport wheelchairs are used for short distances and can be folded up or collapsed so they're easy to transport or store.
• Standard wheelchairs have larger wheels and a higher seat back that allows the user to sit upright while still allowing them to move around easily in the chair.
• Heavy-duty/rehabilitation chairs have larger wheels than standard models as well as other features designed with people who need extra support in mind (for example, some models have footrests). It's important when choosing a wheelchair that you find one that fits your needs--and if you don't already own one, there are ways you can get one without having to spend money upfront!

You don't have to use a wheelchair all the time.

You don't have to use a wheelchair all the time. If you want to, that's great! But if not, it's okay too. You don't have to feel guilty or like there's something wrong with you if you don't want to sit in one all day long.

If your doctor recommends using one for long distances (like going from class building A to class building B), then go ahead and do that--it will help prevent injury and pain later on down the road when walking becomes more difficult for whatever reason (maybe because of arthritis).

But if they suggest using a wheelchair only during short distances (such as moving from classroom A back home), then consider finding another way around such as getting rides from friends or family members who live nearby so they can bring along other things like books/laptop/etc., etc.
