Is the wheelchair soft or hard?

The design of wheelchair seats is very knowledgeable. It is not enough to just open a model, but to comprehensively consider safety and comfort. Before the wheelchair is put on the market, it must be combined with the principles of ergonomics according to the body shape of the elderly and the disabled. For design, the curve of the wheelchair seat should fit the sitting posture of the human body, and provide certain support for the waist, shoulders and thighs. So is the wheelchair seat soft or hard?

When the design of the wheelchair seat is too soft, the comfort level is indeed greatly improved. The user’s weight is more concentrated on the tailbone, while the pressure on other parts of the body is less, which will lead to increased curvature of the human body and damage the spine. Healthy, it is also not conducive to the blood circulation of the legs. When the design of the wheelchair seat is harder, the passenger’s body pressure distribution is more uniform, and they will feel more comfortable when riding for a long time, but the air permeability is much worse on the contrary, so the soft seat and the hard seat of the wheelchair have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Many people will choose a softer seat at first. Indeed, once they sit on a softer seat, the body will be covered by the seat larger, just like collapsing on a big sofa. If you sit on a soft seat, you will feel a little “back pain”. If the buttocks sink into the seat, it is easy to get used to the comfortable feeling and make the blood vessels in the buttocks poor, so that hemorrhoids and other anorectal diseases are more likely to attack.

Is the soft seat or the hard seat of the wheelchair better? The editor thinks that it depends on the individual. For those who spend a short time on the wheelchair, they can choose a soft seat, so that the comfort will be better, and many wheelchair seats have better ventilation. .

And for those who live in wheelchairs for a long time, they can choose harder seats, which will make them feel more comfortable when riding for a long time.

In order to prevent the occurrence of bedsores, the care and use of anti-bedsore cushions is also very important.
