1. Tilt the chair.
•
This enables the user to slide to the rear and
supports a neutral pelvis position A.
2. Recline the backrest
•
The weight will now shift to the back and enable
a good posture, as the bottom has slid into a rear
position B.
3. Angle the legrests.
CAUTION!
Discomfort for the user
The pelvis will be strained and the user can
slide downwards in the chair.
– Ensure that the backside of the thighs
(hamstrings) are in a relaxed neutral
position when angling the leg rests.
Rising from a tilted / reclined position

6.4 Move to/from the wheelchair
WARNING!
Risk of overturning
There is a high risk of overturning during the
transfer.
– Only get in and out without assistance if you
are physically able to do so.
– When transferring, position yourself as far
back as possible in the seat. This will prevent
damaged upholstery and the possibility of the
wheelchair tipping forward.
– Make sure that both castors are facing straight
to the front.
