Electric Wheelchair’s Independent LivingWritten by Kristine Llabres
Disabled persons suddenly stop going out eventually after loosing their natural and usual way of living. They more likely to choose staying home and doing stuffs there than going out, exploring, having fun and meeting new friends. The glow that they had before suddenly stopped and they begin to be dependent on other people even though they are just about to do something. And study shows that because of being dependent, disabled persons became insecure, unconfident and almost hopeless. They somehow lose freedom as a person to do things that they want. But due to advances of technology things around us became a lot easier, convenient and better. Much more for those persons who became dependent others due to they do not have anything around them to use all by themselves. Thanks a lot to invention of electric wheelchairs that made things a lot easier. Electric wheelchairs have been there for a number of years and have provided thousands of people with mobility they need to get from one place to another. Everyone is familiar with standard old style of wheelchair that required a person to manually move wheels. Some people had others that would grip handle bars at back of chair and push it to where it needed to go. However, some people benefited very much from this system, there were many others that could not use their arms to move their wheelchair for long periods of time and others had intricacy in moving chair at all. More often than not, these people were left at hands of a friend, relative or other obliging person that would push them to their destinations.
