For people on the go, lightweight wheelchairs Lancashire are the perfect option. At Da Vinci Mobility, we completely understand the needs, preferences and budgets of wheelchair users who want to retain the quality of life. We specialise in custom-built, bespoke products for persons with restricted mobility. Standard wheelchairs can be cumbersome and heavy for travelling, going up steep inclines, manoeuvring through narrow and/or uneven spaces, and getting into and out of lifts. Lightweight wheelchairs provide the perfect alternative. They can be folded and easily packed into your car’s boot, or on to trains, planes and buses. There are many different options available to suit your unique requirements.
Today, you also have options like ultra-lightweight wheelchairs Lancashire that weigh less than 25 pounds. Some of them come in folding or non-folding versions. The materials used in their manufacture range from high-grade aluminium to expensive titanium. Persons with restricted mobility who play sports can also use them to continue enjoying the games and activities they love. Lightweight wheelchairs should be selected based on the person’s size, width and weight. This ensures comfort and safety over extended periods of sitting, moving and transportation. Depth of the seat is another important aspect. If it’s too deep, it can press uncomfortably against the back of your knees and give a slouched posture. One that’s too shallow doesn’t provide stability and support to the legs. Hence, you have to be measured accurately in seated position to get the right fit.
Standard features that most people look for in lightweight wheelchairs Lancashire and other places include fixed/movable armrests. You can choose these according to your requirements. If you work in an office, you may want armrests that slide easily under your desk. Swing-away leg rests make getting in and out of the chair easier. You can add a seat belt for greater safety, additional space for storage under the seat, transport-style smaller wheels, removable seat and back cushions for easy cleaning, S-shaped ergonomic seat design, and recliner seat options.
