Tips for choosing a wheelchair: (all you need to know)

Choosing a wheelchair for an elderly person, a disabled person or a person with reduced mobility is difficult. There are many variables that need to be considered in terms of the intended use and time of use, the specific needs of the person, their assistant or their family members who will take care of them.
Therefore, the choice of a wheelchair requires careful weighing of a wide range of needs, starting from assessing the user's health status and then assessing the types and terms of use.
Here's a useful and comprehensive guide to the basic types of wheelchairs: a four-wheel universe that can significantly improve the quality of life of people living with disabilities.
 
Standard wheelchairs are convertible wheelchairs, available in a self-propelled version with large rear wheels that older people or people with disabilities can move independently and in transit. The latter is characterized in that the rear wheels have a smaller diameter, which allow mobility only with the help of an assistant or a family member. In most cases, the frame of a standard wheelchair, whether steel or lighter aluminum, allows you to install both types of wheels, and in some cases also comes with a quick release system that allows you to switch from one type to another with ease
 
As for the Ardea strollers manufactured by Moretti, the Start and Start 1 models fall into the self-propelled type, which, unlike the first, has a quick exhaust system and small wheels for hard passages; the next, which also has a quick release and has a double transverse frame, providing greater strength and, consequently, increased capacity up to 150 kg; Dual also has a double transverse frame and quick release function, but also includes adjustable folding and removable armrests and a double hole in the structure, which can simplify the transition to a transit version; the last but no less important Helios line, the main distinguishing feature of which is a lighter aluminum frame.
 
In contrast, Next Go and Dual Go are quick-release transit wheelchairs to switch to a self-propelled configuration, and this series also includes a Go Up with a brake for an assistant and a folding backrest for easy transportation and Helios line lightweight wheelchairs on the move .
 
Standard wheelchairs are available in many sizes, which can last a long time and satisfy the needs of all people with reduced mobility, which can be short-term or long-term, and seek highly effective help that is easy to use.
 
Special wheelchairs - wheelchairs equipped with a rigid or folding frame, which are designed to meet certain needs.
These tools can, for example, solve mobility problems so that users can move more independently, or products designed and built for specific needs, such as translations for people with disabilities at airports or stations or to access or to satisfy needs for mobility of specific types of users, such as children, obese people, or significantly larger people or those with significant disabilities.
