Stability And Balance; Safety Indications - Aria 1.0 Mg Manuel D'utilisation

6.8 STABILITY AND BALANCE

Some activities and movements during daily use can require you to stick out of the wheelchair, leaning forwards,
sideways or backwards. This considerably affects the stability of the wheelchair. To be sure to always maintain
balance, bear in mind the following:
Leaning forwards
1. Align the front wheels (to do so move the wheelchair slightly forwards and then backwards).
2. Apply the two parking brakes.
3. Lean forwards only up to the point where the upper body is still above the front wheels.
Leaning backwards
1. Align the front wheels (to do so move the wheelchair slightly forwards and then backwards)
2. Do not apply the parking brakes.
3. Only grab the reachable objects without having to modify your sitting position.
