subject: Portable Wheelchairs: No Boundaries [print this page] With a portable wheelchair it's hard not to notice that life has no limits. Life almost seems unbearable when it is so suddenly reduced and journeying to new places just seems like impossibility in the end. Ramps and lifts are fast becoming the answer many are searching for. Here are some suggestions you don't want to miss out on.
Thankfully many now have the opportunity to explore the world even their own homes which seemed more of a restriction. You may ask 'how?' the answer to your question is an 'electric wheelchair lift'. When it comes to homes a stair lift is the best choice. The perfect niche to attach your very own wheelchair lift is on the wall of the stairway allowing you movement between levels. You may be thinking 'but is this forever?' for some wheelchairs are a temporary measure, fortunately the stair lift can be uninstalled at any point. For auto travel there are several options for wheelchair lifts. It's truly amazing at the choice as well as the many advantages. Today lifts can be either attached to the rear of your bumper or installed allowing the lift to fold into the vehicle. If you drive your vehicle, however, there's no reason to worry. There are lifts that can be fitted to vans meant especially for physically challenged drivers.
If you have difficulty getting into a van a quick solution is a wheelchair ramp. An example of this is a modular wheelchair ramp, semi permanent and strong in form. In some cases entry ways and small steps pose a more frequent issue when it comes to wheelchairs thus threshold ramps are of great use. Track ramps can be used with ease when it comes to mobility up stairways and vehicles.
Having said this there are many other fine examples of ramps that can be used when it comes to traveling in vehicles and of greater ease. Tri-fold wheelchair ramps have been cleverly designed and built into the actual van allowing ease of access through the side. Both folding of the ramp in and out of the vehicle can be achieved. Large vehicles are best used with a hitch mounted ramp and it literally attached as the words mentioned.
When it comes to mobility the 'portable wheelchair' is definitely a good choice. However the use of a lift or ramp maybe required. These tools can be great aids to make sure that you aren't confined to certain places while in your wheelchair. Whether permanent or portable, wheelchair ramps and lifts ensure that you can travel wherever you need to go in your home or car.
