Thank you for joining us. So in this video we're gonna talk about fully immobile people or dependent people. In the first video we talked about active and second video we talked about semi-active. And now in the third video, with me I have Joan and Ellie from Home Care Shop. So Joan, maybe you can explain to me, what are the individuals that are categorised as fully dependent or immobile?

Joan

Immobile that means is bedridden, paralysed. So these are the wheelchair suitable for them.

Melanie

Okay. So you can explain more about the features and how this equipment can help immobile people at home, yeah.

Joan

So now this wheelchair, we call VIP 2. So, this one can detach for the footrest.

Melanie

Okay so it would help with. The purpose of it is to help with transferring?

Joan

01:12

Yeah, easy for transferring. And then the armrest.

Melanie

01:15

Okay so this is to help with, let's say -

Joan

01:21

Yeah. No blocking for the transferring. And then this one can decline.

Melanie

01:30

How back can it go? How much can it decline?

Joan

01:33

Uh, this one is the 30 degrees.

Melanie

01:35

I see . So, that's the maximum.

Joan

01:37

Yes. So once you want to release the pressure for the front stomach so we have the other features is tilt the angle 35 degrees.

Melanie

01:56

This is to help relieve the pressure on the stomach?

Joan

01:59

Pressure, yeah. This one another feature is anti-tipper. So, to prevent you go backwards. Because for the safety purpose once you recline, you want to feel secure. This is the feature. So we have the headrest for the person to rest and feel comfort.
