Coping with Everyday Obstacles

Coping with the irritation of everyday obstacles can be somewhat alleviated by learning how to manage your wheelchair. Keep in mind your center
of gravity to maintain stability and balance.
While the walking beam allows to traverse up to a 3 inch bump or threshold, stopping after the wheels cross the bump poses a problem. the wheelchair
cannot reverse over the bump at this point. Continue forward and then turn around.
While the wheelchair is designed for use primarily in and around the home, the provider should determine whether this wheelchair is suitable for the
actual environment in which the wheelchair will be used.
