Do you know how to fold a wheelchair?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A wheelchair refers to a piece\nof equipment that is used by people with disabilities or injuries that can\naffect their moving capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case you are suffering from\na spinal cord injury or heart attack, you might experience a certain condition\nthat could develop into a weakness or paralysis. This would force you to need a\nwheelchair which could help you to move around your house or outdoors. Smaller\ninjuries like a foot or leg fracture can force you to use a wheelchair too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\nfoldable wheelchair<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A foldable wheelchair is made\nup of a seat frame connected to four wheels. Foldable wheelchairs are entirely\ndifferent from rigid chairs as the user is able to fold and store the frame of\nhis\/her chair without using extreme effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes the chair is\ninstalled with bigger back wheels and smaller front wheels. Normally, these are\nmanual self-propelled wheelchairs. Wheelchairs which consist of small front\nwheels and a rear are known as transport manual wheelchairs which need a caregiver\nto push the chair while the user is sitting in the seat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfolding\na wheelchair?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to unfold your\nwheelchair, you must initially find some flat surface where you can entirely\nunfold your wheelchair. You have to grab the wheelchair seat with a single hand\nat the front and the other hand behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you have to push the seat\ndown by applying pressure at the center of the seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are opening the\nwheelchair, the wheels as well as the sides of the frame will begin to part\nfrom each other. You have to push the seat throughout until when the wheelchair\nis entirely open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the wheelchair is ready\nfor use if you have followed the steps mentioned above. Note that in order to\nbe safe, always ensure that the brakes are always locked prior to sitting on\nthe chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps\nfor folding a wheelchair<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step is to apply the\nbrakes on before any attempt of folding your wheelchair. In order to apply the\nbrakes, you will have to press the levers which are found on top of each wheel\non either side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you have to stand in front of your wheelchair and then hold the seat and pull it upward. This will force the seat to fold into half and the wheels will move towards each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
