How to Charge Wheelchair Batteries to Get The Most Value From Them
Batteries are expensive...
If you don't look after them, it's a costly repair. This video goes through how to best charge your wheelchair batteries to get the most range and lifespan out of them.
𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐓𝐢𝐩:💡 When you put your chair on charge - make sure it is getting power. If the chair is plugged in but there is no electrical power going through, it will actually draw power out of the battery. So by the time you go to use your chair, it will be dead flat. So, to make sure it is charging:
✔️ Make sure it is plugged all the way in
✔️ Make sure the power from the wall is on
✔️ Make sure the cable is plugged into the charger box
Good indication of this is by checking the battery box and seeing if...

I'd imagine traveling as a wheelchair user would have so many troubles. Think about it; damaged equipment while flying, limitations on car transport in other countries, accessible hotel rooms, repairs and maintenance... There's a lot that goes into travel that we all may take for granted. One thing I never considered was how do wheelchair users push their luggage when they need both hands to pu...
Seating Review of #WheelchairBarbie....But Ken

First things first… Well done K-Mart, for creating a doll who uses a #wheelchair! This thoughtful product not only reflects #inclusivity but also serves as an excellent educational tool, teaching young children that we all come in different shapes and sizes. Having worked with wheelchair users for a decade, I know how much it means to children to see themselves represented in the toys they play...

Let's make Seating Simple. No more being scared of taking Body Measurements for wheelchair scripting. I got you. When you look at a lot of wheelchair education and MAT Assessment training, there is often a section on body measurements and how that correlates to wheelchair measurements. I find this confuses people more than it helps. I've said it in so many videos - 'Look at what sizes your tria...

How to Decide on a Wheelchair Front Wheel Power Assist Device

What about rear wheel drive?
Drive with the webspace between your thumb and index finger using fine movements. You have more control at the base of the joystick vs. the tip
Thank you for your tips. Wish I had seen this 4 hours ago when I got my jazzy air. I’ve already k picked a brick of the leg of the couch and dented the dishwasher.
It's crazy ugly though. Still I guess it's an improvement on the carbon black, that thing was a joke
Certainly looks unique. I'd imagine some people would appreciate the stand out look and no edge design
I love how you did a wheelchair doll as a review for a 'how to measure a wheelchair' review. By the way, it's just my opinion your very short videos are your downfall for fewer subscribers. Tik Tok is the forum for very short videos...not You Tube. Just my thoughts though...again, great video. Oh, it's true what you said about arm rests...but I'm in a Rogue 2 and they combine arm rests with side guards (they seriously cheaped out). By the way, larger wheels are the way to go. You go further with each push and it's way easier on the elbows and shoulders. Power assist wheels are even better (the 25" ones) and I hope they're a norm on future chairs. I'm also glad quad knobs seem to be making a comeback because people need to get more exercise.
Agreed! It's hard to balance the two. Just a side hobby so it's either I do long unedited ones or short and snappy. One day I'll move to longer form content!
@@justinboulos1 it was very creative of you....
What's your favourite standing wheelchair? Let me know why

Bonjour~Wheelieworx, love it,that is perfect video-work. be well. 👌
I need a name for him. What do you think? Whoever has the best name will get a video shout out for their business or project they're doing!
I have to go with my prions experience because my OT has no idea how to measure correctly. She first suggested 16 by 16, as the vender measure my old cushion roughly when I sit in my old donated chair. Later on she suggested 14.5 by 14.5 as my old hair without the cushion. I kept telling her I sit deep in the chair so my butt is actually partly behind the seat. I can see the 16 inch width is too wide and cannot support my twist pelvis and spine.. Eventually I remember there was a chair I hadfit me pretty good and it was 15 by15, and insisted on that size. Turned out I am right.
It sounds like you really advocated for yourself and your comfort, which is so important when it comes to mobility equipment! It's unfortunate that your OT didn't quite get the measurements right initially, but it's great that you were able to remember what worked well for you in the past and insist on that size. Your experience and feedback are invaluable in finding the right fit for your needs in the future!
You know yourself best!
Do you prefer calipers, measuring tape, or both?
To be honest, a tape measure is fine. If you have callipers - great. If not, it doesn't really matter because we're basing our measurements off the trial equipment. If someone is sitting on a 16"W x 16"D cushion and I can see it is an inch too long or too short, I just base my measurement off that. I wouldn't even pull out the tape measure
Says someone replied to me, but I don't see anything.
Very cute. I have a blue toy poodle who would do the same.
What are your thoughts on this delivery?
Fantastic, brother! Keep it up!
Oh yes, yes, yes! I need this in my life. Just a question, do you have experience with mobility plus wheelchairs?
No personal experience with them. They seem like well-made chairs though. Did you have specific questions on them?

Love your work, man! Please keep posting! Additionally, more material on how to navigate coverage against frequent denials of service from a given provider would be wonderful. Lastly, tips and tricks to passing one's ATP exam and maybe even the history of the ATP field. Thank you!
Thank you! Good ideas. Have you seen the videos justifying some of the power seat functions?
Nicely done - and take is a new term for me. In the states many people say "dump", I prefer seat slope. You've added to my vocabulary!
Which ATP exam are you referrring to? I would love to help
@@tamarakittelson Dump still gets used a lot here. I hear "Bucket" being used in the US sometimes but never here. "Slope" makes sense. I think "Rake" is just another word we can use to confuse people! haha
@@wheelieworx I understand where dump, slope and bucket come from. But rake? Trying to figure that one out.

No Power Recline on this chair. Just straight back canes :)
Wheelchair Nerds...Have you got any other tips on how to justify lights on a wheelchair? Or perhaps some more cost-effective altenatives? Help the community (and clients) out 🤙
I chose because of my short legs, the lowest monotube is too high for me
Interesting. When it comes to TiLite, it seems you can get 1" lower on the T-frame (dual frames). I never realised that
@@justinboulos1 yes, and my vendor can even make it lower by the paediatric setting. I am only 4”9 so an inch make big difference.
How is something like this funded in AUS? I presume that's where you live, or NZ.
Australia it is! We have a scheme called the NDIS where people with disabilities can access government funding to fund their Assistive Technology needs
Let's light this industry up; let's get it the same attention that O&P gets from CMS funding, et. al!

Thank you for your video I've heard that the folding handles aren't very sturdy.
Correct! Anything with movement or adjustment is going to have less durability. Though most brands are pretty good and so most dont have an issue through the life of their chair
What do you think? Is there something I missed? What train of thought or resource do you use when considering Restrictive Practice? Let me kand the readers know below 🙂

Hi does the smart drive work only on rigid wheelchair or any wheelchair??
Hey, great question. It works best on a rigid chair because the camber bar underneath the chair gets a receiver mounted onto it and then the Smartdrive just pops on. If you Google Smartdrive Folding Adaptor, you can see how that option works too. It works, but it is a little cumbersome. Rigid chairs are also more durable so they will work better with any power assist device. I hope that helps!
That’s love right there
Right?!
I've got both a mid-wheel and a front-wheel chair, you know and I know the mid-wheel would have gone in that door way easier if you had lined it up right and the front-wheel is a bit better outside on uneven ground.
Hi Tim, you're absolutely right. I would have because there was no wall in front of me. I tried to simulate if there was a wall. I'm this case my footplates would be at risk of hitting the wall in front because my chair as to move further forward
To clarify, it's not the width that is the difference, it is the way it turns :)
I might need a hip belt. My right hip slides to the right due to a hip dislocation
Both great products developed and built and sold by immoral companies. This technology is not that expensive. Instead of $7k they should be $2k .
Hard to say what does on with these products. I suppose there is a lot of research and development and they will want to get a return on their investment. Plus the cost of education and marketing that comes with a product like this.
