Getting into an ultralight wheelchair from the ground - 2 ways

[mattn9886]

I have been in a chair for 7years (t-3 para) and just got a service dog. Could you post a video of your dog retrieving your chair? My dog is so smart, too smart for my own good sometimes. I have been trying to get her to fetch the chair by the calf strap with a small piece of rope tied to it. She does ok but seeing another way would give me some more ideas. By the way I am so jealous at how easy you get back in the chair. I need stronger arms an a smaller gut. Thanks!

I worked with PTs/OTs a ton to figure it all out & yeah, it occasionally still goes wrong. I kept catching my thumb-nails on the locks & bouncing my hands off them, resulting in cuts, scrapes & even losing nails. Ick! I ditched the brakes & have discovered that the only time I really find myself wanting them is either on a hill or @ a restaurant without a level floor. On hills, I will turn my chair perpendicular. At restaurants, a couple of sugar packs behind my tires is usually enough!

Thanks for the video, it's great when people share how they do things. Everybody is different and the more ways to transfer a person knows about the more options they have. You have me curious about not using the wheel-locks on my chair. I can use my legs but I've still had that chair ride out under me and I didn't like it a bit ;-)

Always learning. Thanks for showing how you do it. :-)
