Static Stability
Reaching forward, to the side or to the back of the wheelchair will affect the stability of the
wheelchair. Do not take risks, especially when the chair is not on level plane.
When climbing a gradient, lean the body forward.
On downgrades, the body should be in a straight position
When climbing a gradient, lean the body forward after the front wheel has made it over the
obstacle. Then propell the back wheel over, with your body wieght over the front wheel.
