Transferring To and From Other Seats

Position the wheelchair as close as possible along side the seat to which

you are transferring, with the front casters pointing parallel to it.

into seat with transfer.

During independent transfer, little or no seat platform will be beneath

WARNING

Before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance.

Turn both casters parallel to the object you are transferring onto. Also be certain the wheel locks are engaged to help

prevent the wheels from moving.

CAUTION

When transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the seat. This will help prevent damaged upholstery and the

possibility of the wheelchair tipping forward.



This activity may be performed independently

provided you have adequate mobility and upper body

strength.
