Use; General Advice; Safety; Movements: Getting In And Out Of The Wheelchair - progeo Exelle User Manual

1.4 Use

The EXELLE wheelchair is self-propelled which
means that it can be moved manually by using the
handrims on the rear wheels.
It can be used in rehab as well as more active
situations and is ideal for a wide range of users with
different kinds of pathologies.
It is used to guarantee either fully independant or
assisted (with an attendant) movement for a person
with reduced or fully impaired movement in one or more
parts of the body.
As it has such a large range of accessories and
configurations the wheelchair can be used in full
safety both inside and out.
Where the user has particularly severe pathologies or
with people who are unable to move at all on their own,
the assistance of an attendant is always advisable.
We also discourage use over hilly, particularly soft,
sandy or uneven ground, slopes exceeding the
recommended gradient and acid environments.
Its compact size and structure makes the EXELLE
wheelchair ideal for use by both teenagers and
adults.
