Stability

The back height, seat depth, back angle, seating system, tilt angle, seat height, size/position of the rear wheels, size/position of the front casters, as well as the user condition directly relate to the stability of the wheelchair. Any change to one or any combination of the eleven may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability. These adjustments MUST be performed by a qualified technician.

ALWAYS make sure that the wheelchair is stable using the tilt-in-space.

Wheels may have to be repositioned depending on the degree of tilt-in-space required. ALWAYS ensure stability before using maximum amount of tilt-in-space (45°for

15-20-inch seat depths and 35° for 20 and 21-inch seat depths). Test wheelchair before it is occupied by the end user to ensure safety.

Changing the seat depth of the wheelchair changes the stability of the wheelchair. To maintain stability, reposition the wheels before using the wheelchair.
