1.4 Use
The EXELLE wheelchair is self propelled which means
that it can be moved manually by using the hand rims on
the rear wheels. It can be used in rehab as well as in more
active situations and is ideal for a wide range of users with
different kinds of pathologies.
It is used to guarantee either fully independent 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 outside.
Where the user is affected by particularly severe
pathologies or with people who are unable to move at all
on their own, 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 make the EXELLE
wheelchair ideal for use by both teenagers and adults.
1.5 General advises
Before using the wheelchair we recommend that you
carefully read Chapter 2.0 "Safety" and Chapter 5.0 "Using
the wheelchair," which are essential for safe use of the
wheelchair.
