SAFETY/ HANDLING OF

WHEELCHAIRS

“Safety and Handling” of the wheelchair requires the

close attention of the wheelchair user as well as the

assistant. This manual points out the most common

procedures and techniques involved in the safe op-

eration and maintenance of the wheelchair. It is impor-

tant to practice and master these safe techniques un-

til you are comfortable in maneuvering around the fre-

quently encountered architectural barriers.

DO NOT lean forward out of the wheelchair any further

than the length of the armrests. Make sure the casters

are pointing in the forward position whenever you lean

forward. This can be achieved by advancing the wheel-

chair and then reversing it in a straight line.

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-

tainstabilityandbalance.

Use this information only as a “basic” guide. The tech-

niques that are discussed on the following pages have

been used successfully by many.

Individual wheelchair users often develop skills to deal

with daily living activities that may differ from those

described in this manual. Invacare recognizes and en-

courages each individual to try what works best for

him/her in overcoming architectural obstacles that they

may encounter, howeverALLWARNINGSandCAUTIONS

giveninthismanualMUSTbefollowed. Techniques in this

manual are a starting point for the new wheelchair user

and assistant with “safety” as the most important con-

sideration for all.

A Note To Wheelchair Assistants

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.

To assure stability and proper operation of your wheel-

chair, you must at all times wear your seat positioning

strap and maintain proper balance. Your wheelchair

has been designed to remain upright and stable dur-

ing normal daily activities as long as you do not move

beyond the center of gravity.

PROCEDURE 1

GENERAL GUIDELINES

Many activities require the wheelchair user to reach,

bend and transfer in and out of the wheelchair. These

movements will cause a change to the normal bal-

ance, the center of gravity, and the weight distribu-

tion of the wheelchair. To determine and establish

your particular safety limits, practice bending, reach-

ing and transferring activities in several combina-

tions in the presence of a qualified healthcare pro-

fessional BEFORE attempting active use of the

wheelchair.

FORWARD REACH

(ADULTS)

COMFORTABLE

MAXIMUM

Proper positioning is essential for your safety. When

reaching, leaning, or bending forward, it is important

to use the front casters as a tool to maintain stability

and balance.

LENGTHENING THE WHEELBASE will increase

the stability and maintain standard maneuverability

of the wheelchair.

16 24

40 48

INCHES

SHORTENING THE WHEELBASE will increase

the maneuverability and distribute additional weight

onto the rear wheels.

REACHING, LEANING AND BENDING -

FORWARD.

Position the front casters so that they are extended as far

forward as possible and engage wheel locks.

After mastering the techniques of tilting the wheelchair,

use the following method to tackle curbs, short stairs, etc.

Unless the first assistant has exceptional upper body

strength, it is recommended that two (2) assistants per-

form this operation. The second assistant should be posi-

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 balance

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 cast-

ers to clear the edge of the curb.
