People with mobility challenges use wheelchairs to make their life a little easier by ensuring independent movements. While the design and construction of wheelchairs make it easier to operate, adding some accessories can improve the overall safety and comfort of the device. These accessories are add-ons which do not come with a wheelchair, but need to be purchased separately.
Let’s have a look at what accessories should you choose:
Wheelchair rim covers
Wheelchairs are designed for self-propelling and rim covers make it easier. They are not just functional, but extremely stylish as well. Users can choose their favorite color to stylize their otherwise dull looking wheelchairs.
Hand rim covers provide soft and comfortable rim grip which are gentle on hands. The grip is washable and allows a firm grip while pushing or moving the mobility aid.
Back packs
Users of wheelchairs need not to worry about carrying their stuff while roaming around. Back packs provide a secure way of storing items of interest such as water bottles, air pumps, medicines, or magazines. Tons of back pack options are available in different sizes and designs to fit everyday needs. For enhanced security, there are zipped enclosures as well. Users can attach these bags to the back of the wheelchair and keep their most important things along.
Brake grips
Manual wheelchairs require brake grips to secure and lock them in place. Users can also add brake lever extensions along with brake grips for better control. Available in different designs to look appealing, these brake grips make it easier to move leg rests locks. These accessories are ideal for caregivers as well as users with low hand strength who find it difficult to push down the brake level. With their use, operating a wheelchair becomes a lot easier and safer.
