Mobility To The Disabled

For a paraplegic the greatest fear is losing mobility. Imagine becoming immobile with restricted movements after a terrible accident or a disease that leaves you crippled for life. The other dread that is as crippling as losing movement of limbs is becoming dependent on another person for all activities. A short walk from the bedroom to the washroom becomes a 1000 mile walk that seems endless and torturous.
Wheelchair companies have developed lots of features that address all these issues. For instance the Jazzy Select Traveller specializes in navigating around tight spaces. The model has in-line motor technology for increased torque and efficiency. Its 21.5 inch overall width and solid tires not only give a worry-free ride but enable the user to maneuver tight corners and cramped spaces.
The Select Traveller promises high performance, maneuverability and efficiency. It is available in a compact, stylish package that makes it a good pick. This model has capacity of accommodating weight of up to 300 lbs. It has a 40 amp PG GC controller. The 15 mile battery range and U-1 batteries give greater per charge range.
A paraplegic is a person who has lost use of arms and limbs after a spinal cord injury. The wheelchair used by a disabled person and a paraplegic is almost different, but physicians normally recommend a motorized wheelchair to a paraplegic. The motorized or electric wheelchair is powered by a motor that is backed by a battery. The electric wheelchairs are another form of paraplegic chair which operate through the use of battery-powered gear and belts.
Modern wheelchairs including the Jazzy series have enhanced battery size and batteries that last for a longer period of time. The charger is on board the wheelchair itself increasing the convenience factor that these wheelchairs are popular for. The Jazzy series are quiet, powerful and easy to use.
Other functional aspects of the Jazzy Traveller model includes its full length padded armrests and smart colors. The Select Traveller is built for comfort and a worry free ride. The Jazzy model prides itself on its ability to maneuver tight spaces with its 22.75 inch turning radius and overall width of only 21.5 inch. This compact package helps a user to comfortably fit through doorways and maneuver in smaller rooms.
The ease of use, convenience and maneuverability of this model facilitates greater mobility of a disabled person. Instead of having to seek help to move about the house, the user can comfortably move without restricting movement. Quiet, powerful and easy to use, electric wheel chairs require some maintenance as compared to manual ones.
