Wheelchairs provide variable mobility to people with various physical disabilities. There are four major types of wheelchairs: indoor, outdoor, combined and special. Ergonomics, or design of equipment to prevent injury, considers all physical and anatomical limitations of the users.A complete assessment may prevent future injury, and improve mobility.

Seat  Width

The width of the wheelchair seat is based on the users’ widest point, usually the hips or thighs. If shoulders are wide, consider the shoulder width when choosing a seat width. A too-wide seat leads to difficulty in mobility, inadequate support and discomfort. A narrow seat contributes to pressure sores, inadequate support and discomfort. It is important to have an exact measurement of the seat width for optimal mobility and environmental accessibility.

Seat  Depth

The seat depth is measured from the back of the pelvis to the back of the knee. Users with one leg longer than the other require both legs measured. Also, make sure the user is in a proper posture prior to all measurements. Subtract 1 to 2 inches from the measurements for optimal comfort.

Seat  Height And Angle

The distance of the seat from the floor needs to consider a ground clearance of foot rests at 2 to 3 inches. When using a seat cushion, its thickness needs to be considered in this measurement. Also, drop hooks lengths need to be subtracted. It is important to have knees at 90 degrees when the feet are placed on the ground.

Back  Height

The back height of the wheelchair is measured from the top of the seat cushion to the top of the back support cloth. Occupational therapists assess the height of the user, their balance needs, and their need for support in relation to the wheelchair. If the back height is too high a user will have limited arm and shoulder mobility. If the height is too low, the user has inadequate support resulting in fatigue and sliding. 

Footrests  And Armrests

The footrest settings must accommodate the length of the users’ legs. A measurement is taken from the back of the knee to the heel. Shoes should be worn during the measuring.If the footrest length is high it leads to pelvic pressure, hip rotation and discomfort. Too low footrests result in thigh pressure, hip rotation and sliding. 

Armrest height is measured from the seat surface, or cushion, to the elbow. During measurements the elbow is flexed at 90 degrees, the arms are comfortable at the sides, while the shoulders remain relaxed. Armrest width should accommodate the environment and assist in transfers to and from the wheelchair.

Electric wheelchairs, also called power chairs, are often a more suitable option for those who are physically unable to self propel a manual wheelchair. Before purchasing an electric wheelchair be sure to consult with an occupational or physical therapist. Electric wheelchairs are available in a wide variety of seat widths, depths and heights, and feature a number of armrest, legrest and seating options. Power wheelchairs allow users of every strength to control the electric wheelchair with a joystick, but higher end models offer a multitude of alternative control options – such as proximity switches, sip-n-puff, head arrays, infrared switches and magnetic angle sensors just to name a few. The three most common types of electric wheelchairs are front-wheel drive, mid-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive.

Front Wheel Drive

drive wheels are placed forward of where you sit
very stable for uneven terrain or up and down hills
climbs over small obstacles well
slower overall speeds (about 5 - 5 ½ mph) because front-wheel drive tends to "fish tail" at higher speeds

Front wheel drive powerchair

feature six wheels, including two rear anti-tip wheels
because they turn from the center like a top, they are considered the most maneuverable power wheelchair, even in tight spaces
the power base is usually separate from the seat and will accept any number of seating or power seating options, depending on wheelchair features

Rear-Wheel Drive Electric Wheelchair

excellent outdoor high-speed performance and maneuverability
some models incorporate a folding feature
base is separate from seat and can accommodate a variety of seating and power seating options
