ground. Remove the side panel as described in section
6.1.2. If necessary, remove the footrest, see section 6.1.4.
The user can then slide onto the wheelchair's seat from the
side. Use of a transfer board will make this even easier.
6.2.2 From the Front
Flipping up the two footplates makes it possible for the user
to get into and out of the wheelchair from the front (fig. 12).
The space for getting into/out of the wheelchair can be in-
creased by swinging the footrests to the side (fig. 13).
The assistance of an attendant or a transfer lifter make it
easy for the user to get into or out of the power wheelchair.
Use of a rotation plate is also possible.
