Height Adjustable Armrests Karma VIP 515 Wheelchair

A reclining wheelchair has a back rest that will recline from almost vertical back almost 90 degrees (almost horizontal). The recline action causes the hips of the user to open up and transform them from a seated position to a position more skin to laying on their back. Recliner Wheelchair is a great feature in wheelchairs but not necessarily the most useful. Recline works just like the lazy boy chairs drops the back down toward the floor. This feels good for a short time, but puts pressure on the lower back region after a time. If have ever laid flat in bed for any length of time lower back doesn’t have proper support in the curve and will begin to ache after a time of not changing position or elevating upper body. Recline can also create sheer in the very thin skinned individuals.

Reclining wheelchairs have a few serious characteristics that need to be taken when using it:
  1. When a user is reclined part way, gravity will cause their bottoms try to slide forward out of the wheelchair. If the sliding happens they are likely to fall out onto the floor, if the seating prevents them from sliding, pressure is created called shearing which is very uncomfortable and will eventually lead to skin breakdown.
  2. Also, when reclining, the user's back will slide down the back upholstery. This effect has two inherent problems. The first being that no molded or contoured back rest can be used as the user will constantly be shifted out of position. The second is when the user is moved back to a upright position and shearing is once again created because gravity is trying to prevent the user's back from sliding up the back upholstery.
  3. Elevating legrests are almost always ordered with reclining wheelchairs which add to the cost and weight of the wheelchair. Unless the legs are elevated most users find being reclined quite uncomfortable.
  4. Reclining wheelchairs tend to be heavy and hard for a user to self-propel.
  5. The final drawback is that is care giver must control the recline function on manual reclining wheelchairs.
