The diameter of the hand rim, which is only available for wheelchairs, is generally 5 cm smaller than the large rim. When driving hemiplegia with one hand, add a smaller diameter to choose from. The hand wheel is generally pushed directly by the patient. If the function is not good, you can modify it in the following ways to facilitate driving: add rubber on the surface of the handwheel to increase the grinding force; add push handles along the circumference of the handwheel.
There are the following types of push handles:
1. Push the handle horizontally. Used for C5 spinal cord injury. Therefore, the biceps are healthy. Put your hand on the push handle and the cart can move forward with the help of the elbow flexion. If there is no horizontal putter, it cannot be pushed.
2. Push the handle vertically. Used for rheumatoid arthritis with limited mobility of the shoulder and hand joints. Therefore, the horizontal push handle cannot be used.
3. Roughly push the handle. It is used for patients with severely restricted finger movement and difficulty in making a fist. It is also suitable for osteoarthritis, heart disease or elderly patients. (The hand-cranked wheelchair is driven by hand instead of handwheel)
