K. Wheelchair Stability
To ensure proper stability of your wheelchair, you must make sure the center of gravity and the
wheelchairs base of support is correct for your balance and abilities. Many factors can affect
these two elements:
• Seat height
• Seat depth
• Back angle
Generally, the most important factor is the position of the rear wheels for rearward stability.
There are other actions than can have an adverse effect on your stability. You should consult
with your wheelchair provider and clinicians familiar with your needs and capabilities in
determining how this affects your use.
WARNING: Moving the rear wheels forward increases the likelihood of the wheelchair
tipping backwards. Make small adjustments and proceed slowly until you learn the new
balance point of your wheelchair. Failure to comply with the instruction above could result in
serious injury or death.
