Reaching, Bending - Backward
ƽ WARNING
DO NOT lean over the top of the back
upholstery. This will change your center
of gravity and may cause you to tip over.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to
FIGURE 3.3.
Position wheelchair as close as possible to
the desired object. Position the casters so
that they are extended away from the drive
wheels to create the longest possible
wheelbase. Reach back only as far as your
arm will extend without changing your
sitting position.
