PREPARING THE WHEELCHAIR
SYSTEM OF STABILISATION STRAPS
Remember to properly fasten knee, chest and hip stabilisation straps before moving to the upright
standing position.
Stabilisation straps are used to stabilise the body and limbs when moving forwards and when moving
to an upright position. They do not stand as protection in case of possible collision. Before initialising
the verticalization process, it is crucial to check if all straps are properly tightened.
