  • @Rojere
    @Rojere Před 8 měsíci

    yea that was no help, my question is setting up the brackets so they don't move. i have a Invacare Top End Terminator chair and using quickie side guard bracket but when i attach it... its not secure i turn the bolt as far as i can but when i sit in chair sometimes when i lean forward in chair onto my lap my thighs flatten out and pushes the side guards outward toward wheel its frustrating. so you should do a video showing how to attach the brackets as well as sideguard adjustments

    • @troyplunkett1993
      @troyplunkett1993 Před 8 měsíci

      Sorry Roger, sounds like your Invacare frame may have a different tubing diameter than the brackets from the quickie side guards. If these are different, which unfortunately is common as each company and frame may have different dimensions. Some frames may be 1" or 1.25" tubing, or even some quickie frames have an oval-shaped tubing. That is my best guess as to what may be causing your side guards to move.

    • @sciactivenetwork
      @sciactivenetwork Před 11 měsíci

      I'm sorry, I don't quite understand. You can replace handrims with the same style (most common is 6 tab) and same size handrims. Can you please specify the "wheelchair without handrims?" Not sure if you mean to attach handrims to handcycle or bicycle wheels that don't have handrim mounts?

  • @AngryHatter
    @AngryHatter Před rokem

    I ordered my chair with a 1" cog. Very stable and hard to get off the ground.The frame is marked in 1/2" increments from 1" to 3". I moved it to 11/2". Much easier to move and launch. Also had to move the brakes. Like your videos, thank you.

    • @sciactivenetwork
      @sciactivenetwork Před 11 měsíci

      Awesome, and thank you! Yes, smaller increments of 0.5" are recommended since these adjustments can change comfort in regards to tipping backward. But it sounds like you got it dialed and a lot more efficient and comfortable. And congrats on the new wheelchair, please check out our other videos to help get your chair best set for you!

    I have to get new handrims and not sure what size to get. I have 24" wheels. Does that mean I get 24" handrims, or would it be the 22" to be exact to the handrail size?

    • @sciactivenetwork
      @sciactivenetwork Před rokem

      Hello Sara! You would want the same size handrim for the size of your wheel. The 22" wheels are often for a shorter individual or children's wheelchair. However, the other importance to ordering new handrims are the tabs that connect the handrim to the wheel. Most commonly, wheels are 6-tabs and then you have an option of short tab (handrim closer to wheel/tire) or long tab placement (larger gap between wheel/tire). I hope that answers your question and please respond if you have any other questions.

  • @CokeCheese
    @CokeCheese Před rokem

    I received a new chair and not one of my 6 axles would lock into place with a wheel attached. I adjusted the length as much as I could, but they were all too short. I found some slightly larger axles online and ordered them in hope they would lock. A few days later I received them and they luckily worked. The wheel still moves just a bit, but no amount of adjustment seems to rectify the issue. It is what it is, but as it's been a year, there really hasn't been an issue with the chair or its slight rear wheels wobble.

    • @sciactivenetwork
      @sciactivenetwork Před rokem

      Thanks for sharing. Yes there are many variables to which axle length is the right one for the wheelchair frame as well as the rear wheelset and hubs. Glad you were able to find the longer axles and that it has worked since!

  • @richgoebel6650
    @richgoebel6650 Před rokem

    My provider, the VA just fitted me for my first wheelchair. I told the guy fitting me that I wanted to be able to bowl using it, so easy remove arm rests, brake handles that don't go outward, and most important, an easy to remove and replace hand rim. I get the wheelchair, and go to the bowling alley with my brother who already bowls with a wheelchair, can easily remove his rim. Mine was like the first one shown in the video, and cannot be removed with the tire in place. To make things easier for me, they gave me solid tires that will never go flat, which makes removing the hand rim easily, impossible. Who in their right mind designed the wheel this way. Most likely I'll be told that they will only replace broken or worn out parts, and this wheelchair has only one mile on its odometer, it's that new.

    • @sciactivenetwork
      @sciactivenetwork Před rokem

      Hello Rich! Those are great ideas going into getting a wheelchair that'll work daily as well as for your bowling. Unfortunately, the cylindrical handrim tabs are so common and most handrims require the removal of the tire and tubes, or in your case the inserts are easily removed as they are more of a permanent placement. We hope you found a happy medium and have been bowling great!

    • @sciactivenetwork

      Hey Chris thanks for your comment! What type of backrest do you have or any specifics to you personally that you'd like to email us at info@sciactivenetwork.org to try and give you some suggestions? This video series was more focused on explaining the very basics for the newly injured who don't really know anything about a wheelchair or the process besides the seating companies who often times fail their clients. As for the sitting position, that really is specific to each individual's physical abilities, preferences for chair weight, and most importantly their comfort. Different injury levels lend to different needs for backrest height, stability and contour while focusing on posture and maintaining proper techniques propelling. Personally, I've used many types of adjustable hard shell backrests and upholstered, both have benefits to each person, but I prefer the upholstered backrests for comfort and lighter complete wheelchair weight with the amount of car/wheelchair transfers.

    • @sciactivenetwork
      @sciactivenetwork Před 2 lety

      Thanks Mark for your comment in regards to center of gravity. What are you looking for or feeling needs to be adjusted? Are you tipping backwards in your current setup? Have you added some weights to the front of your wheelchair to help counter balance? Also, what is the "seat dump" on your Rogue wheelchair? (Front floor to seat height minus Rear floor to seat height). Please watch our Seat Dump video to see how to measure if needed. Looking forward to hearing back and helping you get your wheelchair adjusted. Please feel free to email us at info@sciactivenetwork.org with any answers or questions!

    • @sciactivenetwork
      @sciactivenetwork Před 3 lety

      Thanks for commenting Chad! What we mean by a lesser Center of Gravity possibly resulting in a limited propulsion, is if the rear wheels are back towards the backposts. Likely, it'll be more difficult to get your starting grip around 10-11 o'clock and over to 2-3 o'clock on the handrims, resulting in shorter and less powerful propels! We hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask more questions.

    • @kevinhoy5402

      closer to your center of gravity easier to push but more tippy, farther back harder to push, but more stable, it's user preference usually.

      It's my fear with people buying the motorized attachments. I've read one out of ten wheels aren't properly locked on quick release axles. I have three chairs for different situations and lo and behold one wheel on my folding chair didn't lock. I suppose my weight was keeping it on all these years. That, or it had just recently quit locking, or the axle had somehow readjusted itself over time. Any easy fix, but still.😱
