[TMIC] Re: wheel Chairs
I love my Quickie 2. foam insert tires so i don't have to worry about inflation I use a Jay ez -- gel/foam cushion in it. I remember trying a heavy medium and light chairs and being told the differences when i was in the hospital…. the hospital chairs were just awful….. It was fitted for me --- important part of getting the right chair -- i remember all sorts of measurements and observations of how i sat etc. Although my physiatrist says there are better options. I had shared the free online webinar on chairs -- it was very good. perhaps the transcript is available online if you google it.
[TMIC] Thanks
Thanks to all of you--I think the Quickie 2 will be perfect for me--Colours would be good if I were younger. But thank you all for your help.
Re: [TMIC] Re: wheel Chairs
Akua is right. It's important to be fitted for a wheelchair. There are a lot of measurements like how long from your back when you sit to where your legs bend. How high the foot plate should be, the width you need, etc. A good physical rehab should be able to recommend some one who can help you choose what wheelchair is appropriate for you and to fit you for the chair. - Original Message - From: a...@artfarm.com To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Sent: Monday, August 06, 2012 12:58 PM Subject: [TMIC] Re: wheel Chairs I love my Quickie 2. foam insert tires so i don't have to worry about inflation I use a Jay ez -- gel/foam cushion in it.
