Maneuvering Instructions

Question: I was wondering if you know of a website that might have patient instructions on how to maneuver manual and electric wheelchairs? ~Kat

Answer: - It's a good idea to learn how to use your wheelchair properly for your safety and the safety of others. When you purchase your wheelchair you should ask to be shown how to maneuver it properly, how to maintain and take care of at, and ask any other questions you may have regarding it before buying it. There are also various websites on the internet that will give you tips and instructions on how to maneuver and take care of wheelchairs (try tsaofoundation.org). Simply type the keyword "wheelchairs" or the phrase "how to use a wheelchair" into your Internet search engine.
