Wheelchair or Scooter?

Posted on 31. Mar, 2010 by Chair With Lift.

Wheelchair or Scooter? Computers,Internet,Recreation & Leisure Wheelchairs have evolved over time to give greater comfort and convenience to people who have limited mobility. From simple manual operations, wheelchairs can now be operated automatically with just a few clicks of the button, allowing its riders to perform daily mundane tasks a lot easier and faster.

However, the geniuses that made automatic wheelchairs have also come up with a new invention that is expected to trump wheelchairs in the years to come — electric scooters. Not only are electric scooters easier to use and operate compared to wheelchairs but they are also more chic and stylish that it’s not really embarrassing to go around town in it.

Perhaps the biggest advantage of owning an electric scooter is that it takes you to places farther than the wheelchair can. A wheelchair is okay to use if you’re just inside the house or in a small enclosed area. But if you want to go to the grocery store or the nearby park, an electric scooter is your ally. While it does not go as fast as gas powered scooters, it is fast nevertheless and can even travel for several miles before needing another recharge.

In addition, with electric scooters, all you have to do is plug it in to store power. Its battery life lasts depending on its usage, but, still, it remains better by several points over wheelchairs.

The good news is, with the growing demand for electric scooters, prices are also starting to go down. You can buy an electric scooter for as low as $580, and can even get one for a cheaper price if you scour auctions, sales, and used electric scooter offers. Of course, whenever you purchase something, check it first for signs of damage and find out where it has been before you make any decision.

Posted on 31. Mar, 2010 by Chair With Lift.

Preparing For An Emergency When You Have a Disability Health,Self Improvement While everyone should be prepared in case of a weather or other emergency, being prepared is even more important for someone with a disability. Disabilities can create obstacles to evacuating or preparing to remain safely at home. There are a few very important things that you should think about in advance and prepare to reduce panic and possible medical emergencies during a time that can naturally be chaotic.

1. How Will You Will Get Out of Your Home?

If you are mobility impaired or use an assistive device such as a wheelchair, cane or walker, you will want to plan an escape route from your home. If you cannot use your primary exit, will you be able to exit through another door or window? What exit tools should you keep near your secondary escape route? For instance, if you do not have a wheelchair ramp at your secondary door, can you store boards or plywood to make a temporary ramp?

If you have only one door, can you physically exit through a window? Will you need any tools or devices to make this possible? Have you purchased or acquired them and are they stored near the window?

If you will need personal assistance, do you have family, friends, or neighbors who would be available to assist? Have you practiced moving out of the house together through all exits, so that they know what kind of help and equipment you will need? Do they have a key in case you are unable to open the door?

If you primarily use a power chair or scooter, do you have a backup manual wheelchair? Do your friends and neighbors know where it is stored?

2. Have you Planned an Evacuation Route?

Do you know the route you would take if you were required to leave your town or city? Do you have a secondary plan if the roads you intend to take are blocked or otherwise unusable? Do you have a map with exit routes marked in the vehicle you plan to use?

If you or someone you care about has a disability you may face obstacles to evacuating your home or preparing for an emergency. Being prepared is even more important for someone with a disability. There are a few very important things that you should think about in advance and prepare to reduce panic and possible medical emergencies during a time that can naturally be chaotic.
