Why Wheelchair Sizing Matters
Selecting the correct wheelchair size ensures:
- Optimal Comfort: Prevents discomfort and pressure sores.
- Enhanced Mobility: Allows for easier movement and maneuverability.
- Safety: Reduces the risk of falls and injuries.
- Personalized Fit: Tailors the wheelchair to your unique body dimensions.
Once you’ve selected a properly sized wheelchair, you may also want to consider how it will move throughout your home. Portable and modular ramps make it easy to navigate entryways, porches, and curbs, while stairlifts provide a safe, effortless way to access multiple levels indoors.
How to Measure for Your Wheelchair
To get accurate measurements, you'll need a tape measure and an assistant. Follow these steps for each measurement:
- Seat Width: Measure the width of the hips or the widest part of the body when seated.
- Seat Depth: Measure from the back of the buttocks to the back of the knee, then subtract 2 inches.
- Seat Height: Measure from the heel of the foot to the back of the knee. Ensure the user is wearing the shoes they normally wear.
- Back Height: Measure from the seat of the wheelchair to the top of the user's shoulders.
