4-1. Standing
Note:
Before standing up, apply both brakes on the Pegasus II. Please beware of parts of
the wheelchair where one might conceivably trap or catch parts of the body when
standing up, in the space between the side panel / armrest and the seat as well as in
the pivot of the side panel / armrest. Be sure to protect yourself and accompanying
persons from possible injury.
The most important safety features of the stand-up wheelchairs are the knee support,
safety belt and chest belt. It is absolutely essential that these be correctly in place
before you attempt to stand up.
Standing up stresses your body in ways you may not be used to. For this reason,
please consult your doctor or physical therapist before using the standing
aid
to make sure you do not suffer from any conditions
(e.g. strong contractures
or osteoporosis)
which make standing potentially harmful. The Pegasus II
may only be brought into the standing position on firm, level ground
(risk of tipping over).
