Benefits of an Appropriate Wheelchair

Mobility devices are appropriate for people who experience a wide range of mobility difficulties as a result of a broad spectrum of health conditions and impairments, including amputation, arthritis, cerebral palsy, poliomyelitis, muscular dystrophy, spinal-cord injury, spina bifida, stroke and are also relevant for older people who experience mobility difficulties. Assistive technologies such as wheelchairs have been shown that, when appropriate to the user and the user’s environment, they have a significant impact on the level of independence and participation which people with disabilities are able to achieve. This also reduces the burden of care and has been reported to reduce the overall need for formal support services. 

Wheelchair provision is not only about the wheelchair, which is just a product, rather it is about enabling people with disabilities to become mobile, remain healthy and participate fully in community life. We often take the ability to move in our home and community for granted, but for individuals with a disability with mobility impairments even the smallest step can prevent them from accessing all parts of their life. Being mobile enhances a person’s ability to learn, interact with others, earn a living and participate in the community. A wheelchair is the catalyst to increased independence and social integration, but it is not an end in itself. Studies have shown that assistive technologies including wheelchairs, when appropriate to the user and the user’s environment, have a significant impact on the level of participation which people with disabilities are able to achieve and when provided through a supportive service have been reported to reduce the time and physical burden for caregivers. The use of mobility devices, in particular, creates opportunities for education and work, and contributes to improved health and quality of life but may also have an impact on the prevention of falls, injuries, further impairments and premature death. Investment in provision of mobility devices can reduce health-care costs and economic vulnerability, and increase productivity and quality of life.

           

The benefits of using an appropriate wheelchair are:

Mobility

An active lifestyle has been proven to have both physical and mental health benefits with individuals participating in physical activity shown to have a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and several cancers. An appropriate wheelchair provides the user the freedom to move around, allowing the user to access day to day physical activity as they push around conducting activities of daily living increasing overall physical activity levels and day to day mobility. It also provides the greatest possible opportunity for independence and do the things they want to do, allowing individuals to move within their home more easily, provides increased comfort and a more active lifestyle.

Independence

Difficulty with ambulation, need to frequently lean on someone or hold onto their arm as they walk next to you, decreased balance fear of falling can cause individuals to become isolated from friends and family. A wheelchair that is functional, comfortable and can be propelled efficiently can result in increased levels of activity. Independent mobility and increased physical function can reduce dependence on others. Thus, wheelchair users can be more independent and more in control of their own life. Individuals who experience the least discomfort when sitting are often more productive. Users who are able to spend more time in their wheelchair will have more opportunities for participating in day-to-day life along with others in the household, greatly improving their quality of life. 

Health

A wheelchair can improve the user's health in many ways. A wheelchair that is functional, comfortable and can be propelled efficiently can result in increased levels of physical activity, thus improving both physical and mental health. A well-fitting wheelchair with cushion combined with adequate user training can reduce common problems, such as pressure sores, the progression of deformities or contractures, and other secondary conditions associated with poor postures. Other benefits, such as improved respiration and digestion, increased head, trunk and upper extremity control and overall stability, can be achieved with proper postural support. Maintenance of health is an important factor in measuring quality of life. These factors combined serve to increase access to opportunities for education, employment and participation within the family and the community.
