SECTION 12. TRANSFERRING TO AND FROM YOUR CHAIR
The Glide Rehabilitation Products Power Chair is designed in such a way that
transferring in and out can be done with a minimum of fuss.
1. Armrests can either be removable or flipped back (depending on type
specified when ordering) allowing easy lateral movement from either side of
chair or for the fitting of a patient hoist sling.
2. If occupant is ambulant or able to do standing transfers, removing swing away
footplates will allow better placement of feet when standing or conversely,
closer access to seat when transferring into chair.
3. Where possible have someone assist you during the transfer.
4. You will need to learn safe transfer techniques from your health professional.
5. Always have chair as close as possible to chair that you are transferring to.
6. Ensure that the front castors are facing forward when transferring.
7. Ensure that your wheelchair brakes are applied
