Cautions (con’t)
TRANSFER - Work with a qualified professional before you transfer on your
own as it is dangerous. Engage rear wheel locks before you transfer and the
chair should be on a smooth, stable and level area. Move your chair as close
as you can to the seat you are transferring to, rotate the front casters until
they are as far forward as possible, make sure armrests are out of the way and
remove or swing footrests out of the way if you can. Do not stand or apply
weight to footrest.
SEATBELTRESTRAINTS - Belt restraints should fit securely across the front
of user’s body and not around wheelchair components or parts (such as;
armrest or wheel) Upper torso belts should fit over shoulders.
Figures 2 and 3 shows the improper and proper positioning of restraint belts.
Restraints should not be held away
from body by wheelchair components
Pelvic restraints should make full
contact across the front of the body
near the junction of the thigh and
pelvis
