8.7 Transfer
Techniques for transfering to/from the
wheelchair should be practiced well with
the persons involved. Here, we give some
important advices for preparation of the chair:
With or without companion - sideways.
Before transfer:
• The wheelchair should be placed as close as
possible to the destination of the transfer.
• Pull the wheelchair backwards 5-10 cm in
order to make the front castors turn
forward.
• Lock the brakes.
• Remove foot support and arm support on
the side of the transfer.
With or without companion – forwards.
Before transfer:

Using a lift:
Before transfer to chair:
• Remove the head support
• Remove the foot supports
• Open the back rest angle slightly
• Replace the components when transfer is
finished.
Never stand on the foot plates
without making sure that they
are touching the ground due to
the risk of tipping the chair
forwards.
