Percentage of Weight Distribution

Stability and Balance

WARNING

ALWAYS wea r your sea t positioning stra p. Ina s-

muc h a s the SEAT POSITIONING STRAP is a n op-

tion on this whe e lc ha ir (You ma y orde r with or

without the se a t positioning stra p), Inva c a re

strongly re c omme nds orde ring the se a t position-

ing stra p a s a n a dditiona l sa fe gua rd for the

wheelcha ir user.

DO NOT a tte mpt to rea ch objects if you ha ve to

move forwa rd in the sea t or pick them up from

the floor by rea ching down between your knees.

The position of the footre st, c a mbe r tube , ba c k

a ngle, the ta utness of the ba ck upholstery a s well

a s the user's condition a re directly re la te d to the

wheelcha irs sta bility. Any cha nge to one (1) or

a ny c ombina tion of the five (5) ma y c a use the

wheelcha ir to decrea se in sta bility. Use EXTREME

c a ution whe n using a ne w se a ting position.

Anti-tippe rs MUST BE a tta c he d a t a ll time s.

To assure stability and proper operation of your wheel-

chair, you must at all times maintain proper balance. Your

wheelchair has been designed to remain upright and

stable during normal daily activities as long as you do

not move beyond the center of gravity.

Manyactivitiesrequirethewheelchairownertoreach,bend

and transfer in and out of the wheelchair. These move-

ments will cause a change to the normal balance, the

center of gravity, and the weight distribution of the wheel-

chair. To determine and establish your particular safety

limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activi-

ties in several combinations in the presence of a qualified

health-care professional BEFORE attempting active use

of wheelchair.

Virtuallyallactivitieswhichinvolvemovementinthewheel-

chair have an effect on the center of gravity. Invacare

recommends using seat positioning straps for additional

safety while involved in activities that shift your weight.

DO NOT lean forward out of the wheelchair any further

than stability will allow. Make sure casters are pointing in

the forward position whenever you lean forward. This

can be achieved by advancing the wheelchair and then

reversing it in a straight line.

Center of Gravity

Coping with Everyday Obstacles

Coping with the irritation of everyday obstacles can be

alleviated somewhat by learning how to manage your

wheelchair. Keep in mind your center of gravity to main-

tain stability and balance.

A Note to Wheelchair Assistants

Properpositioningisessentialforyoursafety. Whenreach-

ing, leaning, bending forward, it is important to use the

front casters as a tool to maintain stability and balance.

When assistance to the wheelchair user is required, re-

member to use good body mechanics. Keep your back

straight and bend your knees whenever tilting the wheel-

chair or traversing curbs, or other impediments.

LENGTHENINGTHEWHEELBASEwillincreasethesta-

bilityandmaintainstandardmaneuverabilityofwheelchair.

WARNING

SHORTENING THE WHEELBASE will increase the

maneuverability, distribute additional weight onto the rear

wheels, and decrease the stability of the wheelchair.

Do not a tte mpt to lift a whe e lc ha ir by lifting on

a ny re mova ble (de ta c ha ble ) pa rts. Lifting by

me a ns of a ny re mova ble (de ta c ha ble ) pa rts of

a wheelcha ir ma y result in injury to the user or

da ma ge to the whe e lc ha ir.

LENGTHENING

Also, be aware of any removable (detachable) parts.

These must NEVER be used for hand-hold or lifting sup-

ports, as they may be inadvertently released, resulting in

possible injury to the user and/or assistant(s).

PROCEDURE 1

GENERAL GUIDELINES

Functional Reach From a Wheelchair

Tilting

The approximate reach-limit values shown in the accom-

panying graphs were derived on the basis of a sample of

91 male and 36 female wheelchair users. Note the differ-

ence between the maximum and the comfortable reach

limits, a subjective but important consideration in design.

WARNING

DO NOT tilt the whe e lc ha ir without a ssista nc e .

When lowering the front ca sters of the wheelcha ir,

DO NOTlet the wheelcha ir drop the la st few inches

to the ground. This could result in injury to the oc-

c upa nt a nd/or da ma ge to the whe e lc ha ir.

FORWARD REACH

COMFORT MAXIMUM

When tilting the wheelchair, an assistant should grasp the

back of the wheelchair on a non-removable (non-detach-

able) part. Inform the wheelchair occupant before tilting the

wheelchair and remind him/her to lean back. Be sure the

occupant’s feet and hands are clear of all wheels.

TILTING - CURBS:

After mastering the techniques of tilting the wheelchair,

use this procedure to tackle curbs, short stairs, etc.

16 24

METHOD 1 - Apply a continuous downward motion until

the balance point is achieved and the front casters clear

the curb. At this point, the assistant will feel a difference

in the weight distribution.

INCHES

Reaching, Leaning and Bending Forward

Position the front casters so that they are extended as

far forward as possible and engage wheel locks.

WARNING

DO NOT a tte mpt to re a c h obje c ts if you ha ve to

move forwa rd in the se a t or pic k the m up from

the floor by re a c hing down be twe e n your kne e s.

METHOD 1

Roll the wheelchair forward and slowly lower the front

casters onto the sidewalk. Do not let the wheelchair drop

the last few inches to the ground. This could result in

injury to the occupant. Push the wheelchair forward until

the rear wheels roll up and over the curb.

REACHING, LEANING AND BENDING - FORWARD

METHOD 2 - This method requires two (2) assistants.

The second assistant should be positioned at the front

ofthewheelchairliftingupwardonanon-removable(non-

detachable) part of the wheelchair frame when lifting the

wheelchairandstabilizingthewheelchairwhenthewheel-

chair is being lowered to the ground.

Reaching, Leaning - Backwards

WARNING

DO NOT le a n ove r the top of the ba c k uphol-

ste ry. This will c ha nge your c e nte r of gra vity

a nd ma y c a use you to tip ove r.

The first assistant should stand on the sidewalk and turn

the wheelchair so that the rear wheels are against the

curb. The wheelchair should be tilted back to the bal-

ance point and, in one continuous upward movement,

the rear wheels should be pulled up and over the curb.

DO NOT return the front casters to the ground until the

wheelchair has been pulled backward far enough for

the front casters to clear the edge of the curb.

CAUTION

When tra nsferring, position yourself a s fa r ba ck a s

1. Turn the anti-tippers so they are facing UP.

Position the wheelchair as close as possible along side

the seat to which you are transferring, with the front cast-

ers pointing parallel to it. Engage wheel locks. Shift body

weight into seat with transfer.

2. After the wheelchair has been tilted back to the bal-

ance 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.

During independent transfer, little or no seat platform will

be beneath you. Use a transfer board if at all possible.

NOTE: Every six (6) months, take your wheelchair to a qualified technician for a thorough inspection and servicing.

Regular cleaning will reveal loose or worn parts and enhance the smooth operation of your wheelchair. To operate

properly and safely, your wheelchair must be cared for just like any other vehicle. Routine maintenance will extend

the life and efficiency of your wheelchair. Clean upholstery with mild soap and water or spray disinfectant using a

sponge. DO NOT use bleach or wash in a washing machine.

Initial adjustments should be made to suit your personal body structure, preference and abilities. Thereafter follow

these maintenance procedures:

Seat-to-floor height is determined by measuring from

the top of the seat rail to the ground/floor.

The different seat-to-floor heights are possible by us-

ing different combinations of rear wheel size and axle

tube position.

5. Anti-tipper height (if applicable) must be adjusted

to maintain 1-1/2 to 2-inch clearance between the

bottom of the anti-tipper wheels and the floor. Refer

to ANTI-TIPPER REPLACEMENT/ADJUST-

1. Refer to the chart below to determine available

front seat-to-floor heights for each wheelchair
