Patients need to practise using and manoeuvring with the wheelchair.<br />
You may be given the task of supervising their practice.<br />

Have a go at:<br />

moving the chair backwards and forwards<br />
going through doorways<br />
getting close to a bed as if you were about to transfer onto it<br />
going through an obstacle course<br />
Once you feel confident doing this, your supervising therapist will supervise you<br />
helping to teach a patient to perform these manoeuvres.<br />
