the grip (anti-slip plastic coated, etc.). Qualified medical and
paramedical staff will be able to provide you with advice
regarding the propulsion which is best adapted to your
disability. Any wheels adjustments to the set up of your
wheelchair (see paragraph 2.2.2) should only be performed
at the direction of a competent person who has fully risk
assessed the implication of any changes to the wheelchair
configuration.
