I’m Usa-chan, the “wheelchair x beauty” funny x model! In DisabilityLog, as a SNS influencer, I hope to provide lots of useful information for people with disabilities. I will also enjoy providing information about beauty, travel, sightseeing, music, photography, and other hobbies.
I participated for the first time in this event of the International Home Care & Rehabilitation Exhibition H-C-R in the 49th edition in 2022.
By the way, how did you hear about this event and what made you go?
I think there are a lot of people who are curious about this event.
I’m very curious.
I was introduced to this event by a wheelchair vendor who told me that I needed a new “electric wheelchair” because my current “electric wheelchair” was getting old and needed a lot of repairs, and I started comparing other wheelchairs.
And the other reason is that I’m now in the market for a new power wheelchair to compare with other power wheelchair manufacturers.
I see. So that’s why you went to the International Home Care & Rehabilitation Exhibition (H.C.R.).
How did you learn about the International Home Care & Rehabilitation Exhibition (H-C-R) event?
There are four reasons.
Poor battery life
I am dealing with now that I have been in a power wheelchair for about 10 years and the batteries are not holding up well.
(I have 5 batteries in my electric wheelchair, but really, I can only charge 3 or 4 of them now.)
*Nickel-metal hydride batteries.
Discontinued
(The part where you move your hand to select the direction of operation is better to a new one because it is out of date and said that product is no longer manufactured.)
This is also common.
It breaks and cannot be repaired.
I was told, “After a certain number of years, various parts of the wheelchair (the parts that turn the wheelchair) break down too much to be repaired, so it’s time to get a new wheelchair that suits your body.
By the way, the useful life of a wheelchair is six years.
I’m also looking at other power wheelchair suppliers.
I had recently ridden another electric wheelchair, a next-generation electric wheelchair called the Next-Generation Mobility-WHILL, and was wondering whether I wanted a wheelchair like the one I have now or the Next-Generation Mobility-WHILL, so I asked for advice. The wheelchair manufacturer told me, “There is an event called H.C.R. International Home Care & Rehabilitation Exhibition. Why don’t you go and see it if you like?” I was really interested in this event, but I didn’t know what to expect.
I would have liked to go on the same day as the vendor, but I could not go on the same day because of my work and the other people I was going with.
Still, I wanted to go to the International Home Care & Rehabilitation Exhibition (H.C.R.) at least once, so I decided to go on the last day of the exhibition.

When we were looking back at the website of the International Home Care & Rehabilitation Exhibition (H.C.R.) when we were preparing our post, we found ourselves in the picture if you look closely.

No way that was a coincidence (laughs).
And in two places! Surprised. Is he a celebrity?
That’s true. I’m kind of glad.
By the way, the place we were riding in was

It was a Mazda car with a wheelchair on top.
You can look for it if you like.
It really helps to have this kind of information! I hope it will reach a lot of people.
