As a great helper for people with limited mobility, wheelchair maintenance and care are essential. Proper care not only prolongs the life of the wheelchair, but also ensures the safety and comfort of the user. Here are some tips for wheelchair maintenance and care to help you keep your wheelchair in top condition.


1. Regular inspection

Check the various parts of the wheelchair regularly, including tires, brakes, bearings and connectors. Make sure all screws and fasteners are secure and not loose. Check whether the tires are fully inflated and not worn or damaged. The brake system should be sensitive and effective to ensure that it can stop immediately when needed.


2. Cleaning and disinfection

Clean the wheelchair regularly, especially the push area and seat, to keep it hygienic. Use mild detergent and soft cloth to wipe, and avoid using highly corrosive chemicals. Disinfection is particularly important for shared wheelchairs or wheelchairs used in environments such as hospitals to prevent cross infection.


3. Lubrication and adjustment

Regularly add lubricant to the rotating parts of the wheelchair, such as the axle, brake mechanism and adjustable joints. This not only reduces friction and prolongs the life of the components, but also keeps the wheelchair running smoothly. At the same time, adjust the seat height, tilt angle and armrest position as needed to adapt to the user's body changes and ensure comfort.


4. Storage and transportation

When the wheelchair is not in use, it should be stored in a dry, ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and humid environment to prevent metal parts from rusting and plastic parts from aging. If long-distance transportation is required, the wheelchair should be disassembled and properly packaged to avoid collision and damage.


5. Professional maintenance

Even with daily maintenance, the wheelchair may have some complex problems, such as motor failure, electronic control system failure, etc. In this case, you should contact professional technicians for maintenance in time, and never disassemble or repair it by yourself to avoid causing greater damage.


The maintenance and care of the wheelchair is an ongoing work that requires the user's care and patience. Through regular inspection, cleaning, lubrication, adjustment and professional maintenance, the service life of the wheelchair can be greatly extended to ensure the safety and comfort of the user. Remember, good maintenance habits are the key to keeping the wheelchair in the best condition.
