Standard wheelchairs for seniors are mostly used SALJOLs comfort covers improve comfort, appearance and handling
(Fürstenfeldbruck, 13.06.2018) Every year in Germany about one million wheelchairs are prescribed - a considerable part of them are so-called standard wheelchairs, which are mainly prescribed to frail seniors. However, these wheelchairs are very often already used and have been "reconditioned" before being passed on: functionally and hygienically ok, but neither comfortable nor beautiful or even individually adapted. Thus, these wheelchairs have a double deterrent and stigmatizing effect, many seniors therefore reject the wheelchair. The fact that there is another way is shown by the auxiliary means company SALJOL from Fürstenfeldbruck, which has developed special comfortable covers and padding for almost all standard wheelchairs on the market.
