4.5 Negotiating steps or high curbs
Two assistants are required for high steps or staircases with more than three steps.
The assistant must hold fixed frame parts only (see figures).
When negotiating a step the assistant at the back pulls the wheelchair over
it by pulling the fixed handles.
The bottom assistant holds the front frame tube and stabilizes the
wheelchair. The back wheels of the wheelchair are pushed down onto the
steps.
When going down the bottom assistant brakes the wheelchair by pressing it
down onto the steps. The top assistant holds the wheelchair by the handles
to secure it and keep it in the correct position. The wheelchair should roll
down the steps one by one.
