Now we will move on to discuss the benefits and wide range of positioning wheelchairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"color: #2d82cc;\">How Does a Reclining Wheelchair Work?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.karmamedical.com\/featured_item\/km-5000-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <span style=\"color: #008080;\">reclining wheelchair<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> seat works like a car driving seat. As well as sitting upright in a reclining wheelchair, the user can lie flat at almost 180 degrees. The knees can also be raised up to help the user stretch out their hips and lower back. To put it simply, it can extend from a wheelchair to a resting platform, almost like a bed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reclining wheelchairs are suitable for users who need to use a wheelchair for long periods of time,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> thus requiring some posture change to relieve the sitting pressure.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When the user goes into the reclining position, their centre of gravity shifts from the pelvis to the back. This is also why the rear wheels are set further back, behind the user\u2019s centre of gravity.\u00a0 Therefore it is not suitable for the user to self propel the wheelchair themselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The common pitfall of choosing a reclining wheelchair is to neglect the user\u2019s ability to resist the tendency of sliding out. The motion of the recline will create forces on the skin surface.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"row row-collapse row-full-width\"  id=\"row-291793195\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1314536302\" class=\"col medium-2 small-1 large-2\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-591010549\" class=\"col medium-8 small-10 large-8\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_75838361\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.karmamedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/e9ab98e8838ce8bcaae6a485-1.gif\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"person helping an elderly user recline in the wheelchair\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_75838361 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 90%;\">Source: Karma Medical YouTube:\u00a0<span style=\"color: #008080;\"><a style=\"color: #008080;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1mgJMiq2U04&amp;t=10s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MVP502 Reclining Wheelchair \/VIP515 Tilting Wheelchair<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1884033165\" class=\"col medium-2 small-1 large-2\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"color: #2d82cc;\">How Does a Tilting Wheelchair Work?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.karmamedical.com\/featured_item\/km-1520-3t\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\">\u201cTilt-in-Space\u201d wheelchair<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is designed to keep the user in the sitting position, where the angle of the hip joints is unchanged.
