It allows the patient an even greater way of getting around using very little energy, upgrading his or her quality of life. The role of Wheelchairs for patients during hospital therapy and safe transfer through facilities safeguards the dignity and comfort of the patients.
Benefits
1)Enhanced Patient Mobility: Wheelchairs support safe and efficient transport of patients throughout the hospital, from admission to discharge.
2)Improved Patient Comfort: This affords seating surfaces to withstand discomfort from patients with limited mobility.
3)Reduction of Fall and Injury Possibility: Wheelchairs minimise the risk of falls and injuries during patient transfer and movement.
4)Increased Independence: Motorised wheelchairs especially serve this by enabling the patient to move independently, hence promoting autonomy with a reduced need for staff intervention.
5)Less Physical Strain on Staff: It places less strain on the part of hospital staff when using chairs for patients, as the vulnerable systems of muscles are less likely to be overloaded and thus probably injure themselves.
