Use

Positioning

Position the OWG in the chair so that the arrow on the

label or the red indicator label points towards the chair

back.

The non-slip models can be used under the chair cushion.

The non-slip models can also be used with an inconti-

nence cover.

Position the client as normal in the chair.

Use

The client has glided forwards in the wheelchair (Illustra-

tion 1).

The carer leans the client forward to alter the pressure

points – the client's back must be free of the chair back.

If the client has poor balance, he/she can be supported

using a positioning wedge or pillow. Alternatively, a carer

can support the client from the front (Illustrations 2, 3

or 4)

The carer can also stand in front of the client. By giving

the client a slight push, the client will glide back in the

chair. A "thigh walk" technique can also be used (Illustra-

tions 2, 3 and 4)

Remember: Apply the brake to lock the wheelchair before

using OWG.
