Why does the wheelchair tilt?

It is called the "8" wheelchair, with a wide bottom and a narrow top. In order to ensure the safety of athletes, it is not easy to roll over.

Disabled athletes who participate in competitions and other competitions turn wheelchairs into extensions of their bodies, which pushes the engineering design of sports wheelchairs to a new height, especially for racing cars. The comfort and safety of patients are the first consideration in the design of tilting wheelchair, and mobility and lightweight materials are the key attributes of sports wheelchair. Obviously, the direction of assistive technology is to design a design suitable for individual's specific needs.

Matters needing attention and key points of wheelchair:

Tilting wheelchair is a movable decompression device. In this device, the seat of the wheelchair can be tilted within the range of 0 to 40 degrees, while the wheels remain stable on the ground. Although this design is usually made of aluminum or steel, it makes wheelchairs compact and heavy, one is a manual wheelchair pushed by nurses, and the other is an electric wheelchair operated by users through a centralized control panel.

Patients can still maintain the correct orientation through communication and electronic medical equipment, and tilting the wheelchair can also prevent various types of shear forces, that is, friction caused by dragging on the surface to skin tissue; Tilting wheelchair was originally considered as a life-saving equipment to provide paraplegic patients with mobility, which can make users exert their greatest ability in all aspects of life.
