Self Propelled Wheelchair With Power Assist
A wheelchair powered by power assist is a motorised device that is attached to a manual wheelchair to help the user move. It can be used inside on slopes, on different terrains, and for long distances. It can also ease pain in the upper extremities.
The studies show that PAWs enable wheelers to travel much farther and more days than their average daily days. This is especially applicable to those with poorer baseline performance in wheelchairs.
Lightweight
Self-propelled wheelchairs are extremely popular with those who want to remain independent and not have to depend on others for transportation or for daily mobility. A person who is wheelchair bound may have difficulty pushing their own wheelchair over long distances or on uneven terrain. A power-assist system can be an ideal solution to this problem. Power wheelchairs can ease strain on the shoulders, elbows, and back when used for extended periods of time. These add-ons also decrease the amount of effort required to climb hills and traverse obstacles.
There is a powered wheelchair add-on for any manual chair. If it comes with an arm-crank, geared hubs or PAPAW (Push-rim activated power assistance wheels) or a mechanical drive, you will find one that will fit your wheelchair. The device can be controlled either by the user or an attendant joystick, and it can be converted to manual propulsion when desired. It is also simple to stow and detach from the chair.

Easy to transport
The use of powered mobility can be a good option for wheelchair users. The added power can lessen the strain and strain of long travel and inclines as well as unsymmetrical upper-limb propulsion patterns. It also allows for greater independence by cutting down on the need to push against the surface or any other surfaces for assistance. Before deciding on this option, you should take into account the user's capabilities and requirements. This includes assessing the amount of physical effort required to operate and drive the device and the level of skill in wheelchair, attention, judgement and motor planning that is essential to operate it safely.

Many wheelchair users have found that the power wheels allow them to travel longer distances and do it with much less effort. They also can navigate through environments that are difficult to navigate with manual wheelchairs like kerbs or steep slopes. Many wheelchair users also enjoy the fact that the power add-ons don't look any different from their wheelchairs, so manoeuvring in tight spaces is as easy as before.
WheelDrive power assistance is a great option for wheelchair users who have lower upper-limb strength. The battery-powered wheels decrease the force required to propel the wheelchair and allow it to be able to climb slopes and uneven surfaces. Utilizing the device may aid in strengthening muscles of the upper limbs, which is a vital aspect of rehabilitation or physiotherapy.

In contrast to the traditional bike attachment that is attached to the front of the chair, these power accessories are designed to be compact and light. They can also be used with a manual chair while folded and can be docked, undocked and moved easily to different positions within the wheelchair.
Certain modern power-assisted wheels can even be combined with the manual seat of a wheelchair to create an electric hand cycle or 'hand bike'. They are getting more popular particularly among those who are unable to use their feet for propulsion. They are more efficient than standard wheels and reach speeds of up to 10km/h.
However, these are often more expensive than the conventional powered wheels. They are also more difficult to move indoors and not suitable for public transport.
Easy to maintain
As the name suggests power assist wheels are a fantastic solution for people who require extra help propelling their wheelchairs. They are also simple to maintain. They're lightweight and compact making them easy to put into the trunk of a car, and to use with other transportation options like Para-transit or dial-a-ride. They can be used in congested areas. They are lightweight and can be tucked into the back of a vehicle to go on adventures like camping, hiking and going to beaches and national parks.
The key to maintaining your power wheelchair is regular monitoring and maintenance. Make sure that all parts that fold, swivel and pivot are able to move freely and don't have stuck or jammed connections. Check the upholstery regularly for signs of wear, rips or tears. Also, you should lubricate any areas where moving parts may rub against each other. There are lubricants available in a variety of hardware stores or online retailers. You should also be watching your casters to make sure they do not cause the chair to tilt or move at a speed that is unsafe. If you notice any caster flutter, have them replaced immediately.
Despite their improved mobility and independence, self-propelled wheelchairs still require strength of the upper body to operate. In time, this could cause strain on the arms and shoulders. This is one reason why people opt to switch to powered wheelchairs. The best powered wheelchairs are nimble and can easily be tucked under your existing wheelchair. They are light and their integrated control systems can offer up to 80% fewer pushes than manual wheelchairs.
Power assist wheelchairs are not just comfortable and easy to use, but they can also improve your posture by providing more support for your upper body. They are a great choice for those who use wheelchairs to reduce their risk of suffering from repetitive injury to their shoulders or a shoulder. A lot of power-assisted chairs come with adjustable features that let users modify the wheelchair to suit their specific needs. These features include adjustable seats, backrest angles, and cushioning options.
