4.4 Going up and down stairs

Stairs are one of the largest obstacles for wheelchair users. However, with a little help from others it is possible to

climb up and downstairs when a wheelchair lift is not available. You must be aware of the rather heavy weight to

be placed.

We advise climbing stairs with a wheelchair with the help of a minimum of two attendants. You must always face

the rear wheels towards the stairs. The wheelchair must be tipped, so the gravitation force is as low as possible

and the wheelchair is in balance.

If you lift the wheelchair, you should do this by holding the side frame parts (picture 17).

Going down stairs

This action again should be carried out with two attendants. Take one step at a time and go slowly. The attendants

must make sure the wheelchair is tipped and also must secure the wheelchair to counter-act the force of gravity.

 Warning:

Never lift a wheelchair by the push handles, armrests or footrests (picture 16). Always hold a part of

the main frame.
