MTR: Power Assist
Wheelchair Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2011 to 2017
Summary
Power Assist wheelchair
technology works to provide essential supplement to manual pushing of the
regular wheelchairs. Motor assist devices are varied and innovative, providing
significant advantages to users.
Propulsion
assist devices for manual wheelchairs are used by people who lack the strength
to propel their wheelchairs and lack the stamina to propel their wheelchairs
throughout the day. Many people may move to a conventional power wheelchair
when faced with propulsion problems.
Power
wheelchairs present some problems that are not easily overcome. Power
wheelchairs rarely fold for storage. Power wheelchairs are difficult to load
into a smaller vehicle. If they do, they tend to be bulky and heavy.
The
manual wheelchair has appeal because it keeps people moving physically. This
level of exercise is of value for maintaining physical health.
Manual
wheelchair propulsion assist devices use a battery powered motor to reduce the
physical effort. A non-motorized manual assist device is a wheel that uses gear
ratios to reduce the effort required to propel the wheelchair.
Manual
wheelchair propulsion assist devices are useful as an add-on. Devices can be
added to an existing manual wheel chair in the form of wheels. Power propulsion
assist wheels have motors built into the hubs of the wheels to enhance the
user's power when propelling the wheelchair. Power assist wheels can be turned
off when not needed.
According to primary author of the study, “Using the
assist wheels instead of pushing all the time improves the effort ratio, use of
a motor some of the time or one push with a geared Get

wheel
equals three pushes. The arms do not tire out as fast and people can go further
distances.”
Research
is focused on reducing the incidence of conditions secondary to the long term
use of the wheelchair. Upper extremity pain, de-conditioning, vibration/shock
exposure is all issues to some extent. Conditions associated with long-term
wheelchair use need to be addressed.
Pressure
ulcers are a costly health care problem worldwide. A common problem in
wheelchair users is back pain and poor posture. For both of these conditions,
it is thought that tilt in space and recline may be of benefit. Tilt in space
can significantly reduce static seating pressure, a key ingredient in the
development of pressure sores.
The
emergence of advanced mobility devices shows promise for addressing conditions
that arise because of long term wheelchair use. The contribution of engineering
is key. Increased sales of devices support research and development budgets,
better engineering contributes to achieving economies of scale.
Markets
at $109.1 million in 2010 are set to grow to $327.6 million by 2017. Economies
of scale and more efficient manufacturing will drive the price down and
increase the appeal of devices. More favorable reimbursement and baby boomer
purchasing will serve to drive these markets higher in the future.
Growth
is different by region, depending on different reimbursement patterns.
