Wheelchair maintenance
For wheelchair friends, a wheelchair is a device that brings freedom of movement like a second pair of feet. For such a close-fitting "wheelchair foot", maintenance and care must not be neglected. The wear and tear caused by daily use is of course difficult. Avoid, but as long as you maintain and clean your feet frequently to prevent rust, these "feet" can also extend the company time. And if the user feels "difficulty" when using it, it should be checked immediately. And if you need repairs, you can read about repairs.......
