Why You Should Consider Getting An Affordable Used Wheelchairs

If you would consider buying a used Wheelchair for your weary grandma in order to save some cash, then think first about the safety of using used wheelchair models.

Used wheelchairs may give the user with a much lesser expensive choice to buy a wheelchair and you may as well learn better deals on the previous year’s models or seldom used wheelchairs to which the owner has done upgrading stuffs on the chair for a newer and modern one.

The prices of latest wheelchairs may range from a few hundred to few thousands of dollars for the newest and advanced models; a smart option can be a used wheelchair. Used wheelchairs can have important wears, shabbiness and tears even though many people provide careful maintenance of the chairs.

This article will provide you ideas on buying used wheelchairs if you decide to purchase one.

The factors that caused wheelchair users and owners find much better substitutes such as used electric or Power Wheelchairs are increasing health costs and limits to federal funding. Second-hand Electric Wheelchairs surely are cheaper compared to the recent ones but a lot of careful thinking should be made when purchasing a used wheelchair whether the manual or the power one.

Further information regarding second-hand wheelchairs are available in most advertisements on television, bulletin boards, print-ads, posters, websites, as well as newsletters and at public rehabilitation centers and hospitals or even from disability institutions. Moreover, search information for used wheelchairs can be found in classified ads sections of most newspapers and can be found also in most pawnshops.

One disadvantage of purchasing a used wheelchair is the condition of non-transferability of the chair’s warranty.

Bath/Shower safety seats?

My grandmother recently fell and broke both her right foot and injured her left knee. Needless to say she cannot walk and will be in a Wheelchair for quite some time. We are looking for a bath seat online that can accomadate her.

Does anyone have one from a certain place? Is there somewhere more obvious to get one? Websites?

All help is appreciated.

When my older mother was alive she broke her shoulder and had troubles with bathtime. My best advice is to call a local home healthcare place locally, they’ll have a few options from just a simple slat she can sit on up to a bath lift seat, depending on her ability and need. I would also check your local newspaper in the classified ads, you’ll often find home healthcare things there. And lastly, if you’re Ebay savvy, there are a lot of options on Ebay to bid on, if you dont mind the wait for the auction and shipping. I added the link to the Ebay items that might help. Also, you might want to consider having handles added to the shower wall so she has something to grab onto if she needs. Hope this helps & good luck!

So they have a stairway to Heaven. Do they also have a wheelchair ramp, or do the Cripples get left behind?

I guess that might go along with the "Why doesn’t God heal amputees?" huh?

I became an amputee as a child and I grew up in a town house with 7 sets of stairs, and a bedroom on the top floor. I’m not getting left behind I’ll be the angel rocking the otto bock knee.

I need info on electric wheelchair repair and operation?

I have a friend who broke his back and needs his Wheelchair repaired, I’m pretty good at electrical and electronic repair and have worked on medical equipt. before. I understand motors and operation but am a little weak on controls but I am a quick study.

More info is needed. What type of control system does the chair use, a modern or older chair for example. The electronic circuitry is fairly straight forward, but without more information little can be done. If you can locate my email on this site, write me and I’ll try to help. I have 36 years experience in electronic control systems.

Where can I find information on extended motorized wheelchair insurence?

I’ve heard there is an extended insurence for motorzed Wheelchairs and scooters which is great because repairs to my wheelchair r bankrupting me.I think if the chair coast u over $ 2000.00 then they should have an insurence like on cars n trucks.
Anyone out there agree say yeah!!! ;0}

Look up maker on-line they should offer this ,If not Sears Has some programs, also check with some of other medical supply stores in you area and see if they know. My cousin in Oregon called and found someone who new where to go.
