A wheelchair-accessible platform scale is a specialized medical device used to measure the body weight of individuals who cannot leave their wheelchairs. These systems feature a low-profile platform that allows a wheelchair to be rolled on, enabling clinicians to calculate the patient's weight by subtracting the known weight of the chair.
These devices are typically designed as floor-standing or integrated units intended specifically for seated or standing patients. They are not intended for use with beds or stretchers, and users should verify the specific weight capacity and calibration requirements for their clinical environment.
