Hi everybody. So in the previous video we're talking about equipments for people who are in the active group. And today we'll be talking about semi active group. And Henry here is from the Home Care Shop as well, he'll be explaining to us about who are these semi active group of people and what are the types of equipments that would be great for them. S o Henry, how do you define people who are in the semi active group?

Henry

00:36

Alright. Okay, now the semi active group peoples that we call it is for those people who are paralysed, or are half-paralysed, stroke patient, had a stroke patients. So normally when they came to the shop and they ask for advice, they're looking for the wheelchair, which one is suitable for them. So we used to recommend them for our model 125.

Deborah

01:02

Model 125.

Henry

01:04

Yes. Our model 125 because they have a different, different feature. Okay I mentioned about five features of this wheelchair as what you see here, and it is very, very beneficial for those people who use it like what I said just now. It's a group- a group of people the semi group of people. Now first of all, I would like to recommend for this is because of armrest. The armrest is can be swing, you can just take it out from here- from here on both sides, left and right. So the patient is can be transferable from the side, from the side or you can put this one together to in the same height with way he is laid, way he is sleep, and you can just transfer from the bed to go to here.

Deborah

01:58

So easier manual transfer from the bed to the wheelchair.

Henry

02:02

Yes, that's right. So, this one is easily also you can put it back like this. Okay, now the second thing is is talking about this cushion. This cushion is detachables, that is antibacterial. Okay, yes. You can take it out like that. Okay, you can take it out and you can just wash it, you can just wash it. This is a very good, because it's helping the patient when sitting, not only feel comfortable, but is to reduce the pressures, okay to reduce the pressure but he's sitting for too long. And also is preventing from sliding. Now the other feature is once you close like this, you can see- you can notice like this. The edge is not the straight. There are some curve

Deborah

02:55

Oh there's a shaped curve. Yeah.

Henry

02:57

Yeah, this one is designed also. The purpose of the design is to help the patient when they sit very low, and then they're always in the position for- good for the posture, so they will not go to the left to the right but they are on the right posture.

Deborah

03:13

You mean they won't fall out from the wheelchair?

Henry

03:15

Yes, like that. Now the third thing is. The other feaure of this. The good thing is about the here- is about the legs raise. That is you can slide it to the left like this. Okay, or you can just detach it like that. So, it's once you fold it and you detach it this one, it's very easy for you to put on the car or on the boot when you are in the travelling mode, for example.

Deborah

03:49

So meaning like, all these things around the wheelchair can be detached so that when you travel, then it's easier to storage is it?

Henry

03:56

Yes. This one, especially these, okay, not the arms, the arms is to swing only. This one is the left raise and the wheels. The wheels, you can detach. You can detach it. Now, you can. If the patient like the heart stroke, they can still use the hand, and he can just easily use the hand, sitting like this. Like that right here and here. And starting from this. And he can do for himself like that.

Deborah

03:56

I see. Okay. So you can independently use the wheelchair.

Henry

04:37

Yes. Also the caregiver can push if he ever wants but for those patient who doesn't really- cannot use the hands anymore, and they need the help from the caregivers, so they can- the caregiver can push them. Instead of using their hands. So that is one of the features- of the benefits of this wheelchair. Now we- we are talking about these, how to fold if you on board. For example, you are on board, how to fold it, you can use you hand from here to go here and you fold it and you start raising for this. You're raising for this one- you raise this and you take it out. And then it becomes more smaller. Now this one is about 14- 14kg, but if you take it out, this one and this, then it's only about 10, then about 10.6 kg. So at least you have more space on board if you're travelling, by packing up this one. When you put it in, you can just press it like this and you can just push. And it's just a very quick thing. And you can put this like these, like that. This and this one. Okay. And you can detach and hold it. It's very easy. It's very comfortable. Now once you open up, you can just do it like this. And you can do like this. You always hear the clicks then you open up like this.

Deborah

06:30

Everytime you hear a click then you know it's -

Henry

06:33

Yes, it's secure. Now, again, if you wanted to put. Because once you fold it, notice it's a little bit bulky because of this thickness. And you can do. Take it out, this one. Okay, you can take it out. This is your choice. Your choice to take it out or you can do like that so it becomes more compact.

Deborah

07:05

I see. So that one, is it machine washable?

Henry

07:09

Machine washable.

Deborah

07:10

I see. Okay, okay. That's great.

Henry

07:11

Yeah, this is very very nice. Antibacterial or you can just spray

Deborah

07:18

So that's the benefits.

Henry

07:22

That's the benefits. This is very, very suitable for those group of people that's like paralysed or have paralysed or the stroke patient.

Deborah
