The Importance of Proper Powerchair Fit and Sizing
Why Fit and Sizing Matter
Getting the right fit for your powerchair is not just about comfort, it's about enhancing your overall quality of life. A properly fitted powerchair can significantly reduce fatigue and discomfort, allowing users to engage in daily activities with ease.
Measuring for the Perfect Size
Knowing how to measure for a powerchair is crucial. Key measurements include seat width, seat depth, and back height. These dimensions ensure that the chair supports your body correctly, reducing pressure points and enhancing posture.
