Stability of Stroller and Seating Systems
To
•
ensure that the Stroller and Seating System are safe to use, it is important that
fitting the Seating System to the Stroller does not make the unit unstable. Each Stroller
when handed over to the user should be tested for static stability to the specified angle
of 12° (Fig.1).
If
•
is also recommended that any
additional items to be used with the
seat and stroller are in place when the
test is done.
The
•
stability test is always done with
the client seated in the seating system
and all equipment to be used by the
client on a daily basis when in the
wheelchair in situ.
Once
•
the test has been successfully
completed, a Stability Certificate will be
issued by Specialised Orthotic Services
Limited. A copy of this certificate will
be handed over when the equipment
is supplied and should be kept with the
user manual for future reference.
The
•
Stroller is not to be used with
any other Seating System(s) than those for which it has been stability tested
and proven safe for use.
Always
•
steer clear of obstacles where possible.
When
•
using the equipment never attempt to climb or descend an incline where
the surface is rough, wet or slippery (gravel, loose chippings, grass, rain, ice,
snow, etc).
WARNING:
•
Whilst the client is seated in the wheelchair, the attachment of any
heavy object to the wheelchair (i.e. shopping bags etc.) will have a serious effect
on the overall stability of the wheelchair and may place the safety of the client at
risk.
