Remember, the Segway PT will move forward,
backward or turn if you move the Handlebar. Avoid
pushing, pulling, or leaning the Handlebar as you step
on.
Stand in front of the Segway PT,
face Rider, and hold the
Handlebar securely with both
hands.
Be prepared to firmly hold the
Segway PT to keep it from
moving.
Confirm the center Balance Indicator lights are pulsing
green.
To step onto the Segway PT:
Hold the Handlebar with both hands, and as
you step up, look forward and not down.
Place just one foot on the Mat.
Slowly transfer your weight to your foot on the
Mat.
Slowly, while avoiding moving the Handlebar,
raise your back foot off the ground and place it
on the Mat. Stay calm and relaxed. Look
forward.
If you feel unstable, step off the Segway PT,
one foot at a time, and pause before stepping
back on.
Keep the Powerbase level to remain
stationary.
Explain the actions and guide the
Rider to perform each one.
Coach should continue holding
firmly the entire time, and be
prepared to keep the Segway PT
from moving as Rider steps on or
off.
Step 6: Moving Forward and Backward
The Segway PT moves forward and backward in
response to changes in your position.
Hold the Handlebar for Rider:
When standing on the Powerbase, to move forward or
backward: Slowly lean forward and feel the
Segway PT move forward. Then stop leaning forward
and feel it slow down and stop. Do this a few times.
Look behind you and then slowly lean back and feel
the Segway PT move backward. Then stop leaning
back and feel it slow down and stop. Do this a few
times.
Practice going forward and backward a short distance
in each direction. Be careful not to run the Wheels into
any wall or object. This could cause you to fall.
Stand close and spot the Rider
and s/he moves forward and
backward.
Make sure Rider is not pushing or
pulling Handlebar. Encourage
Rider to use heels and toes to
move forward and backward.
