STABILITY WARNINGS
!
WARNING! By changing your seating position (tilting/ reclining/ elevating), you are changing the
stability characteristics of the wheelchair.
• It is very important that the system is set up so that it is stable in all seating positions.
WARNING! When evaluating stability, remember the following:
• Determine and establish your personal safety limits by practicing bending, reaching and transferrring
activities in the presence of a a qualified healthcare professional before attempting active use of the
wheelchair.
• Your Motion Concepts seating system can be mounted onto the powerbase in various forward and
aft positions. Make certain that the position selected provides you with maximum stability over the full
range of seating positions.
• Consider all personal gear and accessories (backpacks, vent systems, extra batteries, etc..) that will
be carried on the wheelchair. For example, a loaded backpack, attached to the back of the seating
system, can significantly reduce the rearward stability of your wheelchair.
• Consider the backrest being used. For example, a recessed back can shift your center of gravity
backward and significantly reduce the rearward stability of the wheelchair. Conversely, a thick back
cushion will shift you forward and reduce the wheelchairs forward stability.
•
Always
shift your weight in the direction you are turning. Shifting weight in the opposite direction of
the turn may compromise stability of the wheelchair base, causing it to tip over.
