Wheelchair technique
It is important to test your
wheelchair skills and take the time required to hone your wheel-
chair technique.
If you have any questions on wheelchair technique, contact the person
who prescribed the chair or your therapist. You are also welcome to get in touch with the
team at Panthera AB.
Anti-roll device
Note that the anti-roll device is not designed to be used as a brake. It´s designed to keep
the wheelchair still while the user makes transfer in or out of the wheelchair or while doing
some activity. It also prevents the wheelchair from moving when it´s unattended.
Note that it is possible to force the wheels and chair forward even when
the anti-roll device is activated.
PLEASE NOTE! In order for the anti-roll devices to function correvtly, the tyres must con-
tain the correct air pressure. See technical facts.
The anti-roll devices will operate less effectively if the tyres are worn or contain insufficient
air pressure. If changing to a different type of tyre, always check the anti-roll devices as
dimensions may vary.
Driving
The reason why the wheelchair is for indoor use and
outdoor use on flat surfaces under
adult supervision
only is that it has only one castor (for the wheelchair to turn more easy)
This make the risk higher for the wheelchair to tip over forward when you in high speed
run into an obsticle or down in a pit. This could also happend indoor but it is much less
common.
Most small children needs a torso strap to prevent them to loose their balance and fall out
of the wheelchair. A basic strap is included when buying the wheelchair. If this torso strap
is not enough, the child should not use the wheelchair until the prescriber has provided
one that gives full protection.
Be aware of obsticles like thresholds, where the castor can get stuck and cause a fall
forward.
The wheelchair can also be equipped with a push handle to enable the child to be pushed
in the wheelchair by an assistent.
Driving on an uneven or inclined surface increase the risk of falling both forward and
backwards.
