People who are very large or heavy may have difficulty using regular chairs. In some cases, they are simply too wide to comfortably fit in an average-sized chair, and in other cases their weight may damage or break the chair entirely. This is not only humiliating to the person who sits in the chair, but could result in injury if the chair collapses. To avoid such an unfortunate occurrence as well as potential litigation, it is important to purchase heavy duty chairs that can accommodate larger family members, employees, and customers. Heavy duty wheelchairs can also be made for specific purposes. An off-road wheelchair, for example, is a heavy duty wheelchair designed for individuals who intend on spending a lot of time on rugged terrain. The most common type of heavy duty wheelchair is a bariatric wheelchair, which is designed to allow larger individuals adequate mobility. For this matter, heavy duty wheelchairs typically have larger seats than conventional wheelchairs. The frames of these wheelchairs can be made from several different reinforced metals, although a titanium wheelchair is often the most popular choice. The wheels themselves are made of thicker rubber than normal, preventing any possible failure due to the greater amount of weight supported. Most makes of heavy duty wheelchairs fold like regular wheelchairs, making storage relatively easy despite the wheelchair's increased size. For the user's convenience, a heavy duty wheelchair can either be manually-operated or motorized, each with its own pros and cons. A manual Heavy Duty Wheelchair gives full control of motion to the user, but the added weight from the reinforcements makes pushing or propelling the wheelchair much harder than normal. A motorized heavy duty wheelchair offers a solution to this dilemma, but is often more expensive and harder to maintain than a manual wheelchair. Some designs offer a combination of both, with a small motor assisting those pushing the wheelchair. The proper c

Generally hands are the most visible parts of your body just next to the face. Yet many among us do not take care of the hands the way they look after the face. It is true that hands age much more quickly than the face. The delicate and thin skin back of the hands shows the signs of ageing more prominently than the face. In addition, many women who do the regular household work and gardening, develop the dark spots and sunspots on the hands. You must take note that hands are the most used and probably most roughly used parts of the body. So, it is no wonder that your hands look bad as the skin

Obesity is a growing concern all over the world. Obesity is a condition where a person's weight is more than 30% of the ideal weight according to the height.

Oolong tea is also known as blue-green tea and has a very strong taste. The flavour of oolong tea is richer than green tea but lighter than black tea. Oolong tea comes in various grades and they vary in flavour intensity. Like green tea, oolong tea comes from Camellia Sinensis (a tropical evergreen shrub or small tree) leaves but unlike green tea, oolong tea is partially oxidized. Oolong tea looks like little green balls in loose form and it goes through roasted and drying process before being packaged.

In her book What To Eat, Marion Nestle, professor of nutrition at NYU and blogger at Food Politics suggests that any food that contains more than 15 grams of sugar per serving is closer to dessert than anything else. Though this number is arbitrary, it is a good benchmark for evaluating food products.

Different types of tea are used as medicines or natural remedies. We know the health benefits of green tea. We also know how much oolong tea is good for health. But what about white tea and what is white tea? Fully fermented tea is black tea, green tea doesn't go through any fermentation process and oolong tea is in somewhere in the middle- richer than green and lighter than black tea. On the other hand white tea leaves are picked and harvested before the leaves open fully. In this time buds are covered by fine white hair.

It might seem strange, but I have found that one way to be happier is to spend much less time pursuing happiness. Don't look for a personal endorphin buzz. No. Look instead for a cause bigger than yourself - it's not like the world isn't full of them, from helping gay refugees to preventing ecological collapse. The poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge said: "Happiness is a hound-dog in the sun. We're not here to be happy, but to experience great and wonderful things." You want to be happier? Then aim higher than being happy - make yourself useful.

Heavy duty wheelchairs (often referred to as extra wide wheelchairs or bariatric wheelchairs) are sturdy enough to accommodate almost any user. Just their lighter cousins, manual chairs, our heavy duty models all fold and feature arm rests and swing-away footrests - but they differ quite a bit in their construction. While lightweight wheelchairs often employ materials like aluminum or titanium alloy, a heavy duty wheelchair is usually fashioned from steel. At wheelchairindia, we have an excellent selection of heavy duty wheelchairs for sale. We also have an extensive wheelchair accessories section, where you'll find plenty of customization options to help ensure that your chair is a perfect fit. These wheelchairs are a little more expensive than standard-sized power wheelchairs. They are, however, very sturdy, and built to accommodate larger frames. Many of these chairs will safely seat people with weight limits of up to 450 pounds. Another consideration with heavy duty power chairs is that they are heavy. Many of these power wheelchairs weigh up to 350 pounds. If you plan to purchase one, you might also consider investing in a van with a power lift, so that transportation will be easier. Although they are weighty, folding these wheelchairs is possible. If they must be transported without a power lift, users can separate them into six parts. The fact that these are a bit more complex than the average folding power wheelchair, however, means that you will probably require assistance to disassemble and reassemble them before and after transport. Purchasers may select from a variety of several different colors and cushions to customize their wheelchairs. Other customizable features include accessories, armrests, and footrests. Tire and seat design options can also be added to these power folding wheelchairs for an additional cost. Further, customers can opt to add batteries to their chair if they require a continuous source of electricity. Ventilat

There is a wide spectrum disability within CP, ranging from mild physical disabilities to more severe cognitive and physical disabilities both. Types of Cerebral Palsy: Spastic CP Ataxic CP Mixed CP Monoplegic CP Spastic Cerebral Palsy: This is the most common type of CP.

Movements are awkward and limited or restricted. Ataxic Cerebral Palsy: Ataxic means unsteady or shaky movements that are less pronounced than in athetosis. These unsteady movements are observed when a child tries to carry out an activity. For example, when he/she reaches for an object or a toy, he/she may miss the target in the first attempt. Due to poor balance, standing and walking may take longer to learn. Mixed Cerebral Palsy: Children with mixed CP show features of more than one type of cerebral palsy. For example, some children have spastic CP with athetosis. Monoplegic: Occasionally a child has monoplegic CP, in which only one limb is affected. Monoplegic cases are few. CP Child Chair CP is usually caused by factors prior to birth: lack of oxygen passed to the child before birth, via infection spreading from mother to baby or by genetic disorder.

These chairs have the ability to accept seating options for individuals who need more support than upholstery can provide. Lightweight wheelchair are typically designed with folding frames to decrease the overall width for storage or transport and with limited component adjustability and often do not allow adjustment of the rear axle location. While some lightweight wheelchairs do have adjustable axles, clinicians at the Center for Assistive Technology (CAT) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, have stated that the range is usually not enough to have a large effect on the fit for a wheelchair user. If the wheelchair prescribed cannot be adjusted sufficiently to place the axle in the correct location for his or her body dimensions, it will negatively affect propulsion mechanics and, in turn, increase the risk of RSI, pain, and dysfunction in upper limbs, which may prematurely lead the wheelchair user to require a powered mobility device.
