Q

purpose of foot rest extenders

A

if pt cant maintain foot lateral - adductor spasticity

24
Q

discuss folding types of w/c frame

A

for mob and ease of transport and storage

comfy glide but stroke efficiency is bad

25
discuss rigid types of w/c frame
more stable and easier turn good stroke efficiency and reduced force required to move good for active w/c users
26
discuss lightweight or ultralight w/c frame
titanium - vv light usually for sports
27
discuss heavy duty types of w/c frame
needs good UE strength - for active w/c users
28
what are drive wheels
large rear wheels used for propulsion
29
what are projection rims
to faci propulsion in pt w poor hand grips - C6 SCI
30
what are friction rims or use of leather gloves
to inc hand grip in propulsion - C7 SCI
31
what are caster wheels
small front wheels - 8 in diameter directs the movement
32
compare spoke and spokeless w/c
spoke - standard spoke less - usually sports w/c
33
discuss standard hard rubber tires
most cmmon - durable and low maintenance
34
discuss pneumatic tires
smoother ride and inc shock absoprtion for lightweight w/c and less durable for active w/c user or competitions
35
discuss use of brakes in w/c
usually present lng pag w/c care giver propelled BUT NOT ON ACTIVE W/C USER
36
discuss use of seatbelts
grasps pelvis at 45-60° - severe extensor spasticity pelvic positioner
37
discuss use of chest belts
inc trunk stab
38
discuss use of seat postiioners
maintains alignement and good WB distrib - inc trunk stab adductor pommel - if may adductor spasticity
39
discuss seat back positioner
for lateral trunk support
40
discuss anti tipping device
posterior extensions to pevent w/c tipping backwards during ascending curve or ramp
41
discuss hill-holder device
mechanical brake that allows forward but not revers for pts who are not able to ascend long ramps or hills
42
discuss use for reclining w/c
if unable to maintain upright posture - poor trunk stab semi reclining - up to 30° ext fully recling - horizontal
43
discuss tilt in space w/c
seat and back tipped backward - pt c severe extensor spasticity
44
discuss one arm drive w/c
drive mechanism on one wheel - not for pts c spatial deficits heavier and more diff than standard since one arm use lng
45
discuss hemiplegic chair w/c
low to the ground of hemiplegia easier navigation for them
46
discuss amputee w/c
drive wheels are more post to the back supp mga 2 in - to inc BOS
47
discuss bariatric w/c
heavy duty and extra wide - for obese rear axle is displaced foward - more efficient arm push adjustable backrest - for post bulk reclining - for ant buln
48
discuss sports w.c
has oblique wheels to inc stroke efficnency and low back height vv easy to move and steer
