Some elderly people may be able to walk, but due to joint pain, hemiplegia, or physical exhaustion, they may struggle to walk as hard as a healthy person doing exercise and gasping for breath. At this time, do not refuse to age or use a wheelchair.

The elderly may not be as responsive as young people, and their hand control ability is also weaker. Experts suggest that manual wheelchairs are better used, and electric wheelchairs are not recommended. If the elderly person is unable to stand, it is better to choose a detachable armrest wheelchair. Caregivers do not need to pick up the elderly person anymore and can move from the side of the wheelchair to reduce the burden.

For elderly people with clear minds and sensitive hands, electric wheelchairs can be considered as the most convenient way to travel.

The manufacturer of electric scooters for the elderly recommends that the elderly who have poor blood circulation due to diabetes or have to sit in wheelchairs for a long time have a high risk of bedsores, so they need to add an air cushion or latex pad on the seats to disperse the pressure, so as to avoid pain or stuffiness.
