The electric wheelchair is a motorised mobility aid made to make it easier and more comfortable for those with restricted mobility to go around. Its wheels are powered by an electric motor and rechargeable batteries, making it simple to go through a variety of surfaces and slope. The chair has a joystick or control panel that makes it easy for the user to move forward, backward, turn, and stop. With padded seats and movable armrests, footrests, and backrests, electric wheelchairs are made to be comfortable. <br>https://harmonyhomemedical.com/blogs/home-medical-resources/advantages-of-using-an-ele

REASONS TO GET AN ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIR FOR OLDER ADULTS Here are four good reasons why older adults should consider getting an electric wheelchair vista
1. INCREASED MOBILITY One of the most significant benefits of an electric wheelchair for older adults is the increased mobility it provides. With an electric wheelchair, older adults can move around with minimal physical effort, which is especially beneficial for those with limited upper body strength or endurance.
2. IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE Older adults who use electric wheelchairs often report an improved quality of life. This is because electric wheelchairs enable older adults to participate in activities they may have previously avoided due to physical limitations.
3. REDUCED PHYSICAL STRAIN Electric wheelchairs eliminate this physical strain by using a motor to move the chair, reducing the need for physical exertion. This, in turn, reduces the risk of injuries caused by overexertion or falls, improving the overall safety of older adults.
