The Benefits of a Reclining and Tilting Wheelchair
Posted on August 28, 2020
Most people won’t encounter the problem of bedsores or pressure sores. However, wheelchair users, people who are bedridden, or those with physical disabilities, because they spend long periods of time in the same position, experience extreme pressure on the same body parts. This constant pressure can cause the skin to become red, inflamed, and deprives the skin cells of oxygen.
Opt for a positioning wheelchair that is specially designed to prevent skin damage to the user. Using the recline or Tilt-in-Space functions changes the user’s posture and center of gravity to relieve the constant pressure felt on certain parts of the body.
