CAUTION
When transferring, position yourself as far back
as possible in the seat. This will help prevent
damaged upholstery and the possibility of the
wheelchair tipping forward.
This activity may be performed independently
provided you have adequate mobility and upper
body strength.
Position the wheelchair as close as possible alongside the seat to which
you are transferring, with the front casters pointing parallel to it.
Remove or flip up the armrest. Engage wheel locks. Swing away or
remove front rigging. 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.
