9.1 Getting in and transferring
Users can choose the method for getting into and out of the wheelchair which is most suitable for them. The
respective procedure should be discussed and practised with a therapist.
As a rule, the frame tubes, seat bottom or side panels can be used as supports for getting into the wheelchair.
If getting in independently is not possible, transferring or getting in always has to be performed with the help of an
assistant. The manufacturer also offers transfer aids for getting in, such as transfer boards.
1) Drive the wheelchair as close as possible to the seat/bed.
2) Engage the wheel locks (knee lever wheel locks) or drum brakes on both sides (see fig. 47, see fig. 48).
3) Fold up the foot plates (see fig. 62) and swing away the leg supports (see page 36).
4) Bring the seat into a horizontal position (see page 35).
5) If needed: Remove the side panels (see page 38).
6) Make the transfer to the wheelchair from the front:
→ INFORMATION: Find the most suitable method by practising with the user. Use a transfer aid (lift
er, transfer board) if possible.
→ If the user does not meet the physical prerequisites due to their disability, support should be provided by
an attendant.
7) Fold the foot plates down, position the feet on the footplates and secure them if necessary.
8) If necessary: Attach the side panels.
