Lateral Stability is the displacement of point P (the center of gravity on the loaded wheelchair) when a
platform with the loaded wheelchair is tilted 45º laterally from the horizontal. Higher numbers indicate
less stability.
This table refers to tests performed in accordance with WC19 to establish lateral stability during
normal travel and the ease of use and proper fit of vehicle-anchored belt restraints.
