We are all familiar with the mobility wheelchairs that appear in our daily lives, but there is one type of wheelchair that we may not have seen before, and that is the sports wheelchair, so what is the role of the sports wheelchair? It is suitable for those people? We need to grasp the general knowledge of the use of wheelchairs for the elderly, let's take a look together.

  Wheelchair Basketball, Wheelchair Fencing, Wheelchair Tennis, Wheelchair Rugby, Table Tennis, Shooting, Archery, Boccia, Athletics Wheelchair Racing. The shadows of wheelchairs are everywhere in the Paralympics. They are the legs of disabled athletes, and they have three, four, and five wheels. These wheelchairs have different shapes and have different uses and functions.

Sports wheelchairs are specially designed wheelchairs for recreational sports or competitions. The common ones are racing or basketball, and dancing is also very common. Generally speaking, lightweight and durable are the characteristics, and many high-tech materials will be used .

   Sports wheelchairs are mainly provided for disabled people to use in sports activities, mainly divided into two categories: ball games and racing. The design is special, and the material is generally made of aluminum alloy or light material, which is strong and light. But the price is also more expensive.

   Forward falls are most common in standard wheelchairs; sideways falls are more likely to occur in powered wheelchairs. Factors affecting the safety of wheelchairs should be fully considered when prescribing wheelchairs. For example, the position of the axle, the position and diameter of the casters, the position and height of the seat, and the position of the load affect the sagittal plane stability of the wheelchair. It is easy to push when the axle of the wheelchair is moved forward, but the stability of the rear part is reduced, and it is easy to fall backward when going uphill and accelerating. When the axle is moved backward, the stability of the rear is increased, which is beneficial to the elderly and poor trunk stability. The closer the position of the casters to the front, the larger the diameter, the lower the seat and the farther to the rear, the less likely it will be topple over when carrying items placed under the seat or in a rearward position. The distance between the large wheel and the ground contact point is a factor that affects the lateral stability of the wheelchair. When the angle between the large wheel plane and the vertical line of the ground is 7°, the lateral stability is the best, and the wheelchair does not need to be excessively widened.
