How to measure correctly!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to select an optimal demo supply, we need some key data that you can determine yourself in just a few steps. You will need a folding rule, possibly a book and something to write with. Please follow the instructions:<\/p>\n\n<\/div>

<\/circle> 1<\/text> <\/svg><\/span>Seat width<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Sit the patient on a chair or in the current wheelchair and measure the widest part of the pelvis (trochanter).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • This is particularly easy if you place a book to the right and left of your thighs or use your hands as a boundary and take the measurement between them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Please add 2 cm to the measurement you have taken.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    <\/circle> 2<\/text> <\/svg><\/span>Back height<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • The backrest height is the measurement from the seat shell or seat cushion to the upper edge of the shoulder girdle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • To measure, simply put the folding rule behind your back and place a book on your shoulder or use your hand to mark the boundary. Make sure that the patient is sitting as straight as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • You can then simply read off the measurement from the bottom edge of the book.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      <\/circle> 3<\/text> <\/svg><\/span>Seat depth<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • The seat depth is the full thigh length, measured from the back to the hollow of the knee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • When seated, you can simply place the folding rule in the seat or slide it in and read off the measurement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Subtract 10% from the measurement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
