Have you noticed the wheelchair backrest on the wheelchair?
As the “long-term partner” of wheelchair users, wheelchairs are already an inseparable part of the lives of wheelchair users.But if you sit in a wheelchair for a long time, will you feel back pain?
This has a relationship with the backrest of the wheelchair that cannot be ignored. Compared with the cushion, the use of the backrest of the wheelchair does not seem to have a strong sense of existence. The wrong combination and use of wheelchair cushions can cause intuitive consequences such as compression injuries and pressure sores. The wheelchair backrest is relatively “unknown” and seems to be in a “dispensable” position.
Is the choice of wheelchair backrest worthy of attention?
This undoubtedly varies from person to person. The basic style of wheelchair backrest meets the basic needs, but it is difficult to meet the higher needs of stabilizing the body, correcting posture, and dispersing pressure.Just like choosing a suitable mobile phone, some people only need to meet the basic functions of conventional telephone calls, text messages, etc., while others need it to have more advanced and diverse functions.
Pay attention to the choice of wheelchair backrest, but also pay attention to the experience of wheelchair users. Choosing a suitable wheelchair backrest can enable wheelchair users to have a better and more comfortable experience.
How to choose the backrest of the wheelchair?
Subject to demand and conditions permitting, it is recommended to use a suitable hard wheelchair backrest.The user is sitting in a wheelchair, the backrest can stabilize the posterior superior iliac spine, and the cushion plays a role in stabilizing the sciatic nodules.
It can be simply understood as providing a key supporting and stabilizing effect on the torso, so that it can be used with a cushion to assist in stabilizing the stability and movement of the pelvis.
Advantages of hard wheelchair backrest
The backrest of a hard wheelchair can generally be adjusted at an angle, and it can be adjusted to a suitable and comfortable state according to the different stature of the individual.
It can more effectively improve the stability of the torso to optimize the hem position of the sitting posture, which has an improved effect on wheelchair users who need to correct the sitting posture.
The hard backrest generally contains a support hard board, a correction hard board, a dust cover, etc., which fits the contact area of the human body as much as possible to disperse the pressure and reduce the risk of compression injuries.
Wheelchair backrest is necessary, but hard wheelchair backrest is not needed by every wheelchair user. If it is a long-term, full—time wheelchair user-that is, in addition to the time in bed, you must use a wheelchair and rely on a wheelchair to assist in movement, it is recommended to match a suitable wheelchair backrest to achieve a more comfortable experience.
