Wheelchair Skills for Caregivers of Manual Wheelchair Users

This video is intended to be used with the Wheelchair Skills Program Caregiver Manual which can be found here: https://wheelchairskillsprogram.ca/en...

WARNING: Some wheelchair skills can be dangerous if tried without a spotter (such as a caregiver) to ensure safety. Trying all of the skills in this video may not be appropriate for some wheelchair users or caregivers. A caregiver should only try any skill that he/she and the wheelchair user are comfortable trying, Also, to avoid overuse injury, the caregiver should avoid overexerting him/herself in the mistaken believe that success on every skill is expected.

The Wheelchair Skills Program (www.wheelchairskillsprogram.ca) is a set of free online low-tech, high-impact, evidence-based resources for the assessment and training of the wheelchair skills of users (with or without the assistance of their caregivers) of manual wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs and motorized mobility scooters.
