Disabled Stairlifts – by Service Feeds

5 Wheel Mobility Scooters — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 13:00:05 +0000

Choosing the Right Equipment Is Essential

The correct equipment will make a big difference to a disabled person in helping him or her to live independently in the home. Before buying a disabled stairlift, the disabled person is well advised to get advice from a specialist and to try out the equipment before purchasing it. It is essential to purchase what is right for the disabled person and that too, at the right price. Often, due to ill-health, old age or disability one is unable to ascend or descend stairs and will thus require a disabled stairlift that should give back the freedom of access to a disabled person. This may necessitate purchasing the disabled stairlift from a specialist firm and solution provider, and obtaining impartial advice should help decide on which type of disabled stairlift is most suitable.

Some of the desired features of a disabled stairlift include unique fire response system, call stations, generous vision panels, in-car lowering, in-car telephone and over speed governors. There will also be need for special grab handles and special controls that will provide additional safety features for the disabled persons.

There are special disabled stairlifts made that can be used with wheelchairs and are designed for safety, flexibility as well as independence, and with advanced design features, one can get even more benefits. There are different modes that can take seated, standard as well as large wheelchairs up to three meters in height and even three and a half meters up. With free-standing tracks, there is no need of a load-bearing wall and so allows greater choice in where to locate the disabled stairlift. It would also have fixed internal ramp that provides a gentle incline and makes accessibility easier. The car does not take much room and allows for increased space outside the lift for maneuvering a wheelchair.

The disabled stairlifts may also have multi-handed doors and controls that can be fitted to either left or right, and with clever designing, it is possible to even change both controls and doors from left to right and vice versa. To provide the disabled person with even more independence, there can also be provision for powered doors, which is mostly an optional feature.

Choosing the Right Wheelchairs And Mobility Equipment – by Macharia Kamau

Choosing the Right Wheelchairs And Mobility Equipment
By: Macharia Kamau
The Wheelchair and Mobility equipment industry, like all others, experiences
the same phenomena of consumerism including choice, independence, competition, variety etc.
People with various handicaps need to/ would want to make decisions, and of course informed decisions on the type of wheelchair they buy. Access to reliable information on wheelchairs and mobility equipment is in many cases not readily available unless one has access to a reliable provider of the information or therapist. Of major concern in the choice of wheelchair/seating equipment is the level of disability and dependence/independence.
Other limiting factors in choosing the right wheelchair is cost. Wheelchairs and mobility/seating equipment can be quite expensive and may sometimes require arrangement with third party players (e.g. donors, life insurance providers, Medicare providers, family etc) who may feature quite prominently in its acquisition. The implication is that the equipment purchased must meet the minimum requisite for the particular person/purpose. This is because third party players may not be available for recourse if the equipment purchased is not befitting the purpose or need of the intended owner(s).
People needing rehabilitation equipment such as wheelchairs will therefore require to consult widely and gather as much information from the market as possible on what is available, flexibility, accessories, maintenance & servicing, durability and of course pricing before making a choice. The difficult part is that in many instances the buyer may be limited in their search and would therefore need the guidance/participation of their families and therapists at various levels of the process.
A glimpse at what is currently available in the wheelchair industry can be accessed on the Internet with interesting new developments.
All in all a wheelchair must suit its owner, whether he/she is able to take care of himself or is largely dependent on support from others. Additional features and accessories will always reduce the level of dependence on others. Where possible a manufacturer may even customize a wheelchair for a particular person or purpose. The most recent wheelchair has such enhanced functions as ability to climb stairs, curbs, traverse gravel sand and so on. But then you part with $30,000.
Remember they say that a return to normality is immeasurable, irreplaceable and priceless.
