Power Assist Add-Ons For Wheelchairs

Power assist accessories allow wheelchair users to travel for longer distances and over difficult terrain. They also reduce the effort needed to propel. This results in lower heart rates and less muscle fatigue.

The great thing about these chairs is that they don't alter the appearance of a manual chair, and they are easy to transport. They are also very easy to use.

WheelDrive

Front wheel drive electric wheelchairs provide the ultimate in stability and power. The large drive wheels "grab" the road and enable the chair to navigate difficult terrain like gravel, grass or steps. This configuration is great if you have to maneuver your wheelchair through tight areas. You can easily turn sharply with the front drive.

When you are choosing a wheelchair, your therapist or Assistant Technology Professional (ATP) will take into consideration which base and components meet your needs. In addition to the drive wheel configuration, the selection of an auxiliary power assist add-on should also be taken into consideration. There are many options for power assistance, including front-wheel add-ons, mid-wheel additions and rear-wheel add-ons.

The new and relaunched WheelDrive add-on by Sunrise Medical features a dual rim design that offers different driving modes. The large 'assist rim' gives extra power assistance to each push, which reduces fatigue and lets you go further per push. The smaller rim for driving provides continuous power to make climbing more comfortable. The WheelDrive is easy to mount on virtually every manual wheelchair with no additional components or modifications. It can be switched between two driving modes with an intuitive power button.

The power assistance is provided by an electric hub motor that is powered by detachable ultra lightweight self propelled wheelchair batteries that can be fully charged in less than two hours. Its small size and user-friendly make it the perfect solution for those who need a little extra help to travel for long distances. The WheelDrive does not require any maintenance, unlike other battery powered power assisted Self Propelled wheelchair assist add-ons that can be quite complicated to keep in good working order.

We recommend that you contact one of our ATPs to get more information and to witness an example if you're contemplating adding a power wheelchair with front-wheel drive to your manual wheelchair. If you're considering the new Empulse 4Front 2 powered wheelchair that comes with FrontDrive, the FrontDrive system comes standard with iLevel that raises the safe seat elevation to 12 inches. This lets you perform everyday activities that require mobility such as toileting, reaching and grooming at a higher elevation.

Rear Power Assist Add-ons

Power wheelchairs can help reduce the effort required to propel a manual wheelchair. They also protect shoulder health and lessen the risk of injury that comes with prolonged, repetitive manual propulsion. You can go further, navigate steep slopes, and maneuver in difficult conditions by adding power assist to your chair.

The power add-ons for wheelchairs could be classified into three categories: rear attachments which are similar to SmartDrive front attachments that raise the wheels of a manual chair off the ground (similarly to a bicycle) and hybrid systems that combine both features. Front attachments can be controlled with a hand-rim activated system like the Alber Smoov, Klaxon Twist or SmartDrive. Rear attachments, on the other hand, are joystick conversion devices such as the Alber E-Motion and SmartDrive.

Some of these wheelchair power add-ons are powered by rechargeable batteries, while others, like the WheelDrive, are connected to the motor of the wheelchair and powered by the kinetic energy of the wheel rotation. The ones powered by batteries are usually more lightweight and compact than those that are powered by kinetic energy from the wheel rotation.

Spinergy ZX-1 is one of the most popular wheelchair add-ons. It is attached to the rigid or folding frame of active wheelchairs. There are three levels of support, and they can be adjusted by pressing one button. It is simple to switch between manual and powered mode and reverse the switch.

The BATEC Manual Power Assist Wheel is another alternative. It comes with three support levels, and can also be controlled by a joystick. This makes it perfect for users who need varying levels of assistance in various settings. These power add-ons can be useful for reducing stress on shoulders and elbows. This lets you travel farther and with less effort. This is particularly useful in the event that you are concerned about the impact of propulsion for long distances on your shoulders.

Active Wheelchairs for Users

Active user wheelchairs are made for those who want to be mobile and independent and live a full life. These wheelchairs are lighter and more maneuverable than self propelled wheel chair-propelled ones. This means that the upper body will not be as fatigued. They are also able to travel on difficult terrain for longer distances without assistance.

A wheelchair that is designed for an active lifestyle typically comes with a small frame size that helps increase mobility. Additionally, the rear wheels are usually larger than standard wheelchairs to enable the user to easily access them and move forward. The backrest is typically lower to allow the user to move their arms and shoulder freely while self control wheelchair-propelling.

Powered add-ons can be a excellent option to make your active user wheelchair more efficient, as they can offer additional power when needed. This is useful when climbing hills, travelling long distances or when the user is tired. The user can control a powered add-on via voice commands or eye movements. This can assist users to become more independent and reduce the need for someone else to push them.

E-bike attachments for wheelchairs are an innovative and exciting way to increase mobility and efficiency. They attach to the front of the wheelchair and transform it into a tri-wheeled hand bike, allowing users to travel faster and farther than they would on their own. This is a great option for those looking to commute to work or run errands, or for those who simply would like to take a relaxing ride. The power bike can be customized to suit the requirements and preferences of the user. There are a variety of options for rear wheel angles and also adjustable the footrest and seat tension. This lets you achieve the ultimate in customization and flexibility.

Foldable Power Assist Device

Power add-ons connect to the back wheels of manual wheelchairs, replacing their existing rear wheels. They are easy to operate and allow the user more distances to be covered with less effort. They are typically light and have advanced control systems to alter programming, monitor battery levels and fault detection remotely.

These are aftermarket components that can be fitted to a wide variety of manual wheelchairs, including folding models. Examples include the SmartDrive MX2+ or Alber Smoov. The device is activated by pressing the button or switch and is controlled using a wireless wristband. Some have an integrated push tracker that keeps track of how much power was using.

They can aid people in climbing up hills and other obstacles with ease. They allow users to maintain independence by continuing with daily activities, work and socializing with family and friends.

In some instances, a power assisted option can reduce the amount of pressure exerted on the individual. They can also reduce the time required to perform activities that require mobility and make it easier for individuals to conquer obstacles such as stairs, inclines, or curb cuts.

Many foldable power-assist devices offer the added benefit of being portable, enabling users to take their wheelchairs along on trips in the family vehicle without the need for a fully-equipped van. They can be detached from the chair for transportation to work or other events and then reattached when returning. This can help people maintain their job, volunteer work and other endeavors to continue to be an active member of the community and contribute to society.

Non-folding power-assist devices are typically heavier and larger than their folding counterparts, but they can still be compact when not being used. They are often foldable and can have their accessories removed to make more space. They can be put in the trunk of any family car. This allows people to travel with their families to work, go to other places and even visit family and friends.
