Blandino GR101 104F - 19 Practice; Take Objects from Ground

For safe use of the wheelchair, both indoors and outdoors, you need a workout to gain con• dence in the different situa-
tions, such as pushing, driving, braking the wheelchair, driving forward, cornering, in reverse on • at surfaces (possibly
with the aid of an attendant).
Initially avoid steep inclines, rough roads or other similar situations
Take object from ground
Avoid to bown down in extreme ways, forward, sideways
or backward, to collect or lay objects. There is a risk of
rollover or loss of balance of the wheelchair if it has a
seat width and reduced height elevated (pillow).
Warning:
• tilting in case of gripping objects forward
• loss of balance in the case where an object is
taken from the side
• tilting in case you collect an object placed
behind the seat back.
