This video introduces to us the wheelchair. Here in the US we have nothing to say what a wheelchair is.
So what we end up with are people in need of DIALY USE wheelchairs coded as K0005 and K0009 or K5 and K9 type wheelchairs.
What the US Medical Insurance Industry tries so hard to force down our necks are these K0001 to maybe if lucky a K0002 or K0003 (if we are obese) and lastly the K0004…
Why so many codes? Well first the K0001 models came along. Even though the wheelchair goes back to the 15th Century and before possibly these K1 type wheelchairs where considered a real step forward in technology and function.
Sadly, as technology has improved, and as we learned what caused injuries to people when they did not use PROPER FITTTING Durable Medical Equipment.
And, as people decided that the current model K1 or Depot or Standard Wheelchair was to heavy. Broke down way to often, was very hard on the upper limbs, and failed to provide needed support for many if not most people in need of a wheelchair for life.
So we soon saw more people going from being able to use their upper limbs to not being able to do so… Soon operations and medical treatments took off sue to the damage long term use of one of these K1 wheelchairs did to people.
As medical science learned the issues with the K1 design the medical professionals would rather do away with these beasts completely.
However, they are super easy to mass produce overseas CHEAPLY. I am talking maybe $5 to $10 each to manufacture. They often sell for under $100 to a thousand dollars maybe more depending on name brand really more than anything else.
As far as adjustments to allow for the best possible support for a human. You are lucky of you can remove (not adjust) the arm rests.
Some offer elvation leg rests… I found one that provided swing away arm rests and offered two rear wheel placements. One normal mode, the other HEMI mode…
The K1 type chairs and I include ALL of the k1 to K4 in this. Offer nothing that is close to ergonomic enough for fulltime use for an active person.
A K1 wheelchair can weigh over 50 or 60 pounds. I found one that weighed nearly 65.
They use a steel frame X brace to allow for folding.
K2 - This type can weight between 35 to 30 pounds. They are a lighter weight version of the above K1.
Aluminum Frame may be used. But most times is still steel. X Frame folder again.
The K3 is one that is Extra Wide, and made to hold someone over 300 or 350 pounds. All it is, is a large version of the K1.
Steel frame most of the time on this one.
The K4 Is kind of a gap stop between the K1/K5 models from the best I can tell so far. It was designed to give people yet another pointless K1 Version.
The K4 is a heavy duty light weight K2 wheelchair. They can be wider or the normal one size fits most seat pan.
Aluminum X Frame us used to acheive a weight of between 34 and 30 pounds.
For the most part in the US the Medical Insurance Industry will limit us to one of any of these as long as it is $500 or less retail cost.
The insurance company can then pay a lower price of something around $100 or less. So THESE above chairs are the most loved ones by US MEDICAL Insurance companies…
