Reaching, Bending - Backward

SECTION 3—SAFETY/HANDLING OF WHEELCHAIRS

Reaching, Bending - Backward

WARNING

DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery. This will change your center of gravity and may cause you to tip over.

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to

FIGURE 3.3.

Position wheelchair as close as possible to the desired object. Position the casters so that they are extended away from the drive wheels to create the longest possible

wheelbase. Reach back only as far as your FIGURE 3.3 Reaching, Bending - Backward arm will extend without changing your

sitting position.
