Power pack for manual wheelchair

A power pack for a manual wheelchair is not your common or garden device that we can use regularly, but rather something special that makes life easier in many ways for people who have difficulties getting around in wheelchairs. The wheelchair can be connected to this device to make it more powerful. It's especially helpful for those who have difficulty pushing their own wheelchair, particularly going up inclines or over bumpy ground. At Reizberg, we manufacture modules with power packs with three things in mind: strength, weight and ease. They work to make daily life easier for people in a wheelchair, from maneuvering around the house or park, to shopping. There are several reasons to invest in an electric assist device, let’s have a look at them and how you can choose the best one. 

There are many advantages to using a power pack for a manual wheelchair. For one, it’s so much easier to get around. Now try walking uphill or through soft grass. It can be tiring and tough sans a power pack. But a single one lets the wheelchair go up hills or over bumpy ground with minimal effort. The result is that users can navigate to more places without becoming fatigued. It’s also great for the long haul. It can also be just too far to push the wheelchair to the store or a friend’s house. With a power pack, those hours in the car are that much easier to handle.

What Are the Benefits of Using a Power Pack for Manual Wheelchairs?

Manual wheelchair power packs are specialized devices that make moving around a bit easier for individuals. They can be quite useful, but there are some issues that users frequently encounter. There are a number of issues with attaching the power pack to the wheelchair. Occasionally, the power pack does not fit very sturdily and rattles back and forth or falls off. This can be hazardous for the wheelchair user. Another issue is that the power pack is heavy. Some power packs can be heavy, making it difficult for the users to hoist their wheelchairs when they must. This can be a significant problem, particularly when someone needs to put the wheelchair in a car or get it up a ramp. 

Another one is smoothness of ride. On bumpy roads or sidewalks, some power packs may be less effective. And that can be uncomfortable for the user. It’s necessary for people to “try the power pack in multiple locations” before deciding to use it all the time, scholars say. Last but not least, learning to manipulate the power pack can be tricky too. It is some users who may find it difficult to steer or stop the wheelchair once the power pack has been attached. It’s a bit of an adjustment. Reizberg is a great supportive resource who helps users understand how to confidently and sexually play with their power packs.
