Types of Electric Wheelchairs

August 21, 2008

Most medical equipment supply companies offer a vast line of electric wheelchairs. The different versions will vary by size, weight capacity and other options. There are oversized chairs for bariatric (or obese) patients. There are smaller chairs for children and petite adults. There are also different seats, colors and footpads for chairs.

The options for electric wheelchairs can vary depending on a person?s needs. Some people need elevating leg rests (ELRs) to keep good circulation in the legs. Others might need an oxygen tank holder to carry portable oxygen tanks. People with ulcers and sores might need specialty seating.

Pride Mobility Products Corp., Invacare Corporation and Hoveround manufacture the three most common electric wheelchair brands in the United States. Although there are many different companies that manufacture this equipment, these three easily have the most popular brand name recognition.

Pride Mobility is a company that specializes in manufacturing power mobility devices and vehicle lifts. It is responsible for the Jet, Jazzy and Quantum lines of electric wheelchairs. The Jet series includes the Jet 3 Ultra, the Jet 2HD, the Jet 7 and the Jet 10 electric wheelchairs.

New Technologies Make Massage Chairs a Viable Product for Families

August 20, 2008

Premier Health Products, a leading manufacturer of robotic massage chairs, now offers a new technology that allows users to customize the massage chair to fit their individual body size. This technology, coined BioFit Technology, makes owning a massage chair more feasible for households with members of drastically differing heights.

Premier has added BioFit technology to their recently released PHP-2025 stretch massage chair to boost summer sales, and compete with industry giant Panasonic (http://www.premiermassagechairs.org/massage-chair-2025.html.) Though Premier Health Products still feels that no single chair is best for all, BioFit technology makes the PHP-2025 a great choice for many. Combined with a multitude of top of the line features and an attractive price, once again we feel that Premier is a brand that should not be overlooked.

BioFit technology does just what it says, it adjusts the chair to fit the user’s unique frame. Beyond the clever name, the technology itself is quite simple, yet effective. For years massage chair brands have been cashing in on body scanning technologies that tailor the massage to the users. But many of these body scanning systems measure width and contour and leave height out of the equation.

Reupholstering Simple Dining Chairs

August 19, 2008

After many years of being sat upon, the chairs around the table often become ugly as their padding wears out. Nothing is quite as embarrassing to a home owner as realizing that his or her guests must sit on chairs with the stuffing coming out. This problem can be remedied, however, with a little time and some simple, inexpensive items from the local fabric and hardware stores.

Turn your chairs over, and you might notice that the fabric covering the chair is stapled in place. By removing the fabric, you’ve made the first step. This can be done by removing the staples, or by cutting the fabric around the staples.

Next, measure the dimensions of the chairs for the fabric to use as covering. When buying the fabric, choose a durable fabric that is relatively easy to clean. Also, make sure to leave at least an extra foot for each side of the chair. This ensures that there is enough fabric to fit over the padding and enough to be anchored to the bottom of the chair. It’s better to have too much than not enough. You can always trim the excess. Read more…

Decorating your bedroom - tips on choosing the right furniture

August 18, 2008

As well as a place of rest, the bedroom provides an escape from stress and worry - a haven from the everyday comings and goings of family life. It’s the most private room in the house and, unlike other areas of a family home, belongs exclusively to the individual or couple who sleep there. With the right furnishings and planning, it can become an idyllic refuge that offers a great deal of comfort and relaxation.

The choice of bed is of course a main consideration when decorating a bedroom. The average person spends over a third of their life in a bed so it’s important that the right kind is chosen. Symptoms such as back-pain and lack of sleep are often attributed to a poor bed and merely buying a new mattress will not necessarily alleviate these problems. The best solution is to purchase a divan and mattress together, considering that both are designed to work with each other. The big furniture retailers sell them individually or in sets. Read more…

August 14, 2008

It is a commonly known fact that furniture ages, as well as anything else does! The signs of breaking down are not hard to notice, as, after a number of years, even the paint of the best furniture begins to chip and to crack. The wood becomes scratched or dented, surfaces become dirty. There is nothing we can do to prevent this from happening.

Therefore, time has a very dramatic effect on furniture. Besides the physical changes, there is another effect that seems even more complicated. People usually get bored of their furniture! While the aging can always be covered up, the fact that our furniture got boring can never be ignored!
