Wheelchairs - Finding What Works Best?
Wheelchairs come into play when a person is unable to get around, even with the use of crutches or a walker. The need for wheelchairs may stem from accidents or health and disability issues related to illness or age. Wheelchairs are not all equal and care needs to be taken to find wheelchairs that best fits particular needs. Manual wheelchairs are powered by the user who uses hands on the special rims around the large back wheels to propel the wheelchairs. Some wheelchairs are configured in such a way that they can be propelled with one arm rather than two. Some wheelchairs are made with thicker tires and shorter backs for sports use. Those who use manual wheelchairs need to either have or develop the strength to propel the wheels forward, balance on the back tires to move the wheelchairs up over a curve or threshold and have the strength to stop forward movement. Some who require wheelchairs, either temporarily or permanently, might not have the needed hand and arm strength, but can use their feet and legs to propel the wheelchair, at least on flat surfaces. Most manual wheelchairs fold up and can be transported in a car trunk. Wheelchairs meant for temporary transfer tend to be lighter than those manual wheelchairs used on a regular basis by those with disabilities. These have large back handles for a handler to push the person using the chair. Hospitals use these wheelchairs to transfer patients from one place to another or from bed to chair. These transfer wheelchairs may not have the large back rimmed wheels of regular manual wheelchairs. Airlines use a narrow form of these transfer wheelchairs to fit airplane aisles to transfer people into airline seats. Those without the strength to handle manually propelled wheelchairs, might choose electric wheelchairs powered by rechargeable batteries. For the most part, electric wheelchairs are considerably heavier and not as portable as manual wheelchairs. Electric motors propel these wheelchairs with the user controlling the electric wheelchair with a joystick-like device fastened to one armrest. Those without hand dexterity use electric wheelchairs configured to respond to what movement the user does have, such as head movement.

Why do throw rugs move or creep on carpet?
Carpet and rugs have fibers that lie in one direction. As you walk on rugs on carpet the fibers tend to move and move the layers of carpet/pad above and result in area rug "creep."

Why are electric wheelchairs bad?
Nothing instrinsically is wrong with an electric wheelchair. For many, electric wheelchairs are one of few options available as a mobility aid - that is, some people cannot move around to perform daily tasks without one.However, there are some disadvantages that electric wheelchairs have in comparison to normal wheelchairs. The three biggest drawbacks to electric wheelchairs in such a comparison are: they require batteries, they do not provide any exercise to the person in the wheelchairs, and they are more dangerous (to the rider and to others) than a normal wheelchair.BatteriesElectric wheelchairs, unlike regular wheelchairs, must be charged - often on a daily basis. If left uncharged, the electric mobility wheelchair can become useless and, at worst, a cumbersome object to move back to its charger.Most power chairs have a cord for recharging and it is easy to plug in to the wall. Usually, if charged every night, power chairs will last all day. It is important to get in the routine of charging your scooter nightly.Lack of ExerciseOne large benefit of wheelchairs is that they are human-powered. The person in the wheelchair generally gets an upper-body exercise when using a regular wheelchair. Unfortunately, people in electric wheelchairs do not get the same benefit of built-in exercise.If you require use of an electric wheelchair or mobility scooter, talk to your doctor about how you can stay fit.DangerPower wheelchairs have very powerful motors, often powerful enough to push around full-sized furniture and appliances. The electronic controls may get stuck or otherwise malfunction, and the user could lose control. Most wheelchairs are powerful enough to run over a person or to seriously injure a person pinned between the wheelchair and object. Furthermore, malfunctions and other accidents (from tipping over or otherwise falling out of the seat) could leave the wheelchair user on the ground with no way to get up.Depending on the model of your scooter, different dangers may exist.
