Wheelchair Use And Safety

If you suffer from a disability or physical injury that limits your mobility, then wheelchairs are a fantastic way to preserve your freedom and independence; however, many of the activities you will perform require you to reach, bend, and transfer in and out of the wheelchair.

These movements can all cause a change in the balance and weight distribution of the wheelchair, so it is important to remember safe operating practices to avoid discomfort or injury. Whether you are a caregiver or use a wheelchair yourself, be sure to check out this video on basic safety precautions:
