End User Desc: Age: 32; Height: 6'3"; Physical Disability: Nerve Damage; Usage: Indoors/concrete - not for grass. This chair is great because its light and manuverab
Strengths: It folds nicely. The legs swing back /come off allowing you to sit at a table and not interfere with others "leg room." The arm rests come off allowing you to play guitar or a piano. It allows you to move in closer to anything which may set low.
Weaknesses: This is my fisrt personal chair, so I haven't had an opportunity to try many chairs other than heavy duty ones. It isn't quite as sturdy as the heavy duty ones, but really, I don't have any complaints. It is as advertised - I believe. The skinny wheels make it almost imposible to manuever on grass. Maybe I just need to develop more upper body strength.

| Seat
Depth1 Measure from the most posterior point of the body to the inside of the knee, minus at least two inches. Some prefer more leg overhang to make room for their hand when lifting their leg. Back Height2 Measured from the seat base to the top of the wheelchair back. Depends on how much upper back support is needed, and also affects freedom for the upper body to rotate. Rear Seat to Floor3 Measurement from the ground to the rear seat edge. Relative to the front seat-to-floor dimension, this determines the rearward slope ("dump" or "squeeze") of the wheelchair seat. Hanger Angle4 Determines how far the toes extend away from the body, measured from the horizontal. A tighter angle allows the wheelchair to turn around in less space. Depends in part on ability of the knee to bend towards the perpendicular. Seat Width5 Determined by the widest point of the body from knee to hip, plus an inch to ensure room to move. Consider bulk of clothing, particularly a heavy winter coat, if relevant. Wheel Camber6 Angle of the wheel relative to the vertical. More camber improves stability and agility, but also limits ability to pass through narrow spaces. A typical daily wheelchair uses three degrees of camber. Front Seat to Floor7 Measure the leg from the back of the knee to the sole of the foot. Then subtract the thickness of the cushion when it is compressed. Next, add a minimum of two inches for footrest clearance. Do not add the footrest clearance if the wheelchair will be foot-propelled. |
