The lifting function of the travel power wheelchair: improving the quality of life and physical health

Back lifting/lowering: flexible adjustment to meet diverse needs
The back lifting/lowering function is a highlight in the design of the travel power wheelchair. It allows users to adjust the back through simple operations. This function is undoubtedly a great boon for users who need to sit for a long time. By raising and lowering the back, the patient can partially stand up. Such posture adjustment not only helps to relieve back pressure, reduce muscle tension and pain caused by maintaining the same posture for a long time, but also provides users with a more comfortable reading, infusion or dining experience.

Imagine that on a sunny afternoon, a user sitting in an power wheelchair can easily adjust his back to the right angle through the back lifting function, holding a beloved book in his hand and enjoying the pleasure of reading. It is undoubtedly a great enjoyment to find the most suitable reading posture for yourself without moving your body effortlessly. Similarly, when infusion is needed, the back lifting function can also allow users to smoothly complete the treatment process while maintaining a comfortable posture, reducing the discomfort and anxiety caused by long-term bed rest.

Leg lift/leg drop: sit and stand freely, promote healthy circulation
Complementing the back lift/back drop function is the leg lift/leg drop function. This function enables users to switch from lying to sitting freely by combining bending legs and raising the back. With the help of an power wheelchair, users can complete this action independently without relying on the assistance of others, which is essential for maintaining personal dignity and independence.

The leg lift/leg drop function not only facilitates users' daily activities, such as eating and washing feet, but more importantly, it also helps promote blood circulation and reduce the risk of muscle atrophy. Long-term bed rest or sitting for a long time can easily lead to poor blood circulation in the lower limbs, increase the risk of thrombosis and muscle atrophy. The leg lift/leg drop function effectively promotes blood return and muscle activity in the lower limbs by simulating leg movements when standing and walking, providing users with necessary physical exercise.

In addition, the leg lift/leg drop function also provides users with more room for activities. With the assistance of an power wheelchair, users can participate in family activities, social gatherings, etc. more freely, and share the good times of life with relatives and friends. This physical freedom not only improves users’ psychological well-being, but also strengthens their connection with society, helping to build a more active and healthy lifestyle.
