GENERAL GUIDELINES

 

 

Follow this procedure for moving the wheelchair between floors when an elevator is NOT available:

1.If necessary, rotate the anti-tippers so the wheels are facing up.

2.After the wheelchair has been tilted back to the balance point, one assistant (in the rear) backs the wheelchair up against the first step, while securely grasping a non-removable (non-detachable) part of the wheelchair for leverage.

3.The second assistant, with a firm hold on a non-detachable part of the framework, lifts the wheel- chair up and over the stair and steadies the wheelchair as the first assistant places one (1) foot on the next stair and repeats STEP 1.

4.The wheelchair should not be lowered until the last stair has been negotiated and the wheelchair has been rolled away from the stairway.

5.If necessary, rotate the anti-tippers so the wheels are facing down.

ESCALATORS? SORRY!

DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur.

TRANSFERRING TO AND FROM OTHER SEATS

WARNING

BEFORE attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap dis- tance. Turn both casters parallel to the object you are transferring onto. Also be certain the wheel locks are engaged to help prevent the wheels from moving.

CAUTION

When transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the seat. This will help prevent broken screws, damaged upholstery and the possibility of the wheelchair tipping forward.

NOTE: This activity may be performed independently provided you have adequate mobility and upper body strength.

Position the wheelchair as close as possible along side the seat to which you are transferring, with the front casters pointing parallel to it. Remove or flip up the armrest. Engage wheel locks. Shift body weight into seat with transfer.

During independent transfer, little or no seat platform will be beneath you. Use a transfer board if at all possible.
