Guidelines:
Before riding, carefully check if the tires are damaged and ensure the braking system is functioning properly.
Prior to boarding the wheelchair, engage the handbrake to secure the wheelchair and prevent it from moving.
When crossing thresholds or steps, the caregiver should use their foot to step on the footrest bar beneath the seat, lifting the front wheels of the wheelchair until they clear the obstacle, then lowering them.
When descending slopes or steps, let the wheelchair’s rear wheels go first, with the caregiver walking backward to prevent the patient from falling out.
