TRANSFERRING TO AND FROM OTHER SEATS
WARNING
BEFORE attempting to transfer in or
out of the wheelchair, every precau-
tion should be taken to reduce the
gap distance. Turn both casters
parallel to the object you are trans-
ferring onto. Also be certain the
wheel locks are engaged to help
prevent the wheels from moving.
CAUTION
When transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the seat. This
will help prevent damaged upholstery and the possibility of the wheelchair
tipping forward.
NOTE: This activity may be performed independently provided you have adequate mobility and upper
body strength.
Position the wheelchair as close as possible along side the seat to which you are transferring,
with the front casters pointing parallel to it. Remove or flip up the armrest. Engage wheel
locks. Shift body weight into seat with transfer.
During independent transfer, little or no seat platform will be beneath you. Use a transfer
board if at all possible.
