How to Measure Wheelchairs

[@antonleimbach648]

I’m a paraplegic and these measurements are so important. Do not be afraid to ask lots of questions! 1) If a person is wearing summer clothes the width of their hips will increase a little during winter when they are wearing heavy clothes. 2) Make sure to take into account a paraplegics leg length wearing jeans that may move their legs out off their footplate. The back of my legs gets pushed forward due to the cushion being to far forward. Also wearing a belt will move my body a little forward in the chair. 3) Spend some time in a wheelchair and try to cook, clean, and other tasks. 4) Wheelchair height is really important. I can just barely reach certain things in my house. Rim and castor size will have a big effect on this.

Great video, I myself am fairly new to ordering wheelchairs for my patients. Sometimes I measure incorrectly

ALWAYS always hold your phone in landscape (sideways) when shooting video. Didn't you guys see that you are losing 66% of the screen by holding your phone in portrait? Those two big black bars on the sides of the video equal two-thirds of the screen space completely useless...

Please check the audio level of a video, before uploading. Even with KZbin at maximum volume and Windows audio mixer at maximum volume, I was forced to turn my desktop speakers up from 25 percent to 50 percent, just to make it possible to clearly hear what was being said. Also, with such an instructional video, _ALWAYS_ embed subtitles in it. Don't rely on the viewer having to click on the KZbin subtitles button. Put bluntly, this video being in portrait mode, having poor audio, and having no subtitles, turns a potentially useful video into a useless one.
