1.4 Use
The YOGA 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 YOGA wheelchair
ideal for use by both child and adult.
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.

2.1 Movements: getting in and out of the wheelchair
While getting into or out of the wheelchair do not place
your feet on the footplate. This could result in the
wheelchair tipping up, possibly causing harm both to the
chair and to the occupant.
Getting in and out of the wheelchair must always be done with
extreme care and caution, even by experienced users, and must be
performed only after receiving instruction from specialized and fully
trained personnel
If getting in and out of the wheelchair is difficult an attendant should
be present. All of these actions should in any case be performed
based on your particular pathology and therefore on your own level
of independence.
