Warning :
Check that quick release axles are well locked in their hou-
sing, as there is a risk of a serious fall if not the case.
2.2. Wheelchair propulsion
Wheelchair propulsion is provided by the handrims moun-
ted on the wheels. The handrims can be adjusted based
upon your height to allow you to hold them properly, and
various accessories can be added to improve the grip (anti-
slip plastic coated, capstan spigot kit, etc.)
Qualified medical and paramedical staff will be able to
provide you with advice regarding the propulsion which is
best adapted to your disability.
