Though the electric wheelchair was invented in 1950, it never successfully worked until 2005.
The electric wheelchair that was first supposed to be used by injured Second World War veterans was never put to use successfully until recent years after a lot of innovations and additions being put into making it more practical and useful.
Wheelchairs are basically used by people who can not move much due to disability or injury, but originally they were meant for quadriplegics and paraplegic individuals who had severely limited mobility. Nowadays, it is even used by patients with cardiovascular problems who can move by themselves but are concerned about the strain movement would cause on their hearts.
Obital Medical wheelchair which has recently been introduced in the market has been marked to be very effective in its movement which includes going forward, backwards, tilting and stretching.
Obital Medical wheelchair movement can be controlled by use of a joy stick, sip/puff controls and chin controls. A person can control the wheelchair's direction, speed, or other parameters by using these joysticks.
One major advantage with this wheelchair is that it can be customized to fit a patient’s needs, as it can be used outdoors as well as indoors.
