1.1 - Reaching for an object from a wheelchair
( Figure 2 )
The limitations on reaching out from
a wheelchair shown on the following
diagrams have been produced using
a representative sample of wheelchair
users: 91 men and 36 women.
Note the difference between maximum
stretch and reaching out in normal sitting
position.
Only the arms should extend beyond the
seat of the wheelchair.
For safety reasons, the body and head should remain within the boundaries
of the seat. ( Figures 3 and 4 )
