8.7 TRANSFER
Techniques for transferring to/from the wheelchair
should be practiced well with the persons
involved. Here, we give some important advices for
preparation of the chair:
With or without companion - sideways.
Before transfer:
•
The wheelchair should be placed as close as
possible to the destination of the transfer.
•
Pull the wheelchair backwards 50-100 mm in
order to make the front castors turn forward.
• Lock the brakes.
•
Remove leg support and arm support on the side
of the transfer.
With or without companion – forwards.
Before transfer:
•
The wheelchair should be placed as close as
possible to the destination of the transfer.
• Pull the wheelchair backwards 50-100 mm in
order to make the front castors turn forward.
• Lock the brakes.
• Tilt chair forward.
Using a lift / hoist:
Before transfer to chair:
• Tilt the chair slightly backwards
• Remove the head support
• Remove the leg supports
• Open the back rest angle slightly
• Replace the components when transfer is finished.
Never stand on the foot plates due to the risk
of tipping the chair forwards.
8.8 POINT OF BALANCE
Adjust the point of balance by adjusting to correct
seat depth for the user. This will move his/ hers centre
of gravity and balance the wheelchair.
In addition one can consider to change the position of
the main wheel in the main wheel bracket.
•
Move the main wheel hub and the main wheel.
(Chap. 5.3.1)
• Adjust the disk brakes. (Chap. 5.3.6)
•
Check that the main wheel and quick-release are
locked properly. (Chap 5.3)
2 pcs 24 mm open-end spanner
5 mm Allen key
The Netti AdaptPro main wheel bracket allows for
changing wheel position and thereby changing
the seat height. If required frame extenders bracket
can be mounted to move the main wheel 60 mm
backwards.
For users with forceful involuntary movements it is
possible to mount counterweights on the wheel-
frame front.
The point of balance can also be changed
by adjusting the seat angle and/or angle of
backrest.
