Image Gallery

In viewing the still photographs and videotapes in the Image Gallery, the viewer should be aware of the following: Models have been used to respect the privacy of actual wheelchair users. Although we recommend that spotters be used when performing skills that might result in wheelchair tips or falls from the wheelchair, particularly when first learning to perform these skills, spotters are not shown in all of the images because the models are highly skilled. The illustrated skill methods are merely examples of how the skills may or should not be performed. The techniques which are most appropriate for specific wheelchair users are affected by the characteristics of the wheelchair user, the type of wheelchair used, how the wheelchair is set up, and the environment in which the wheelchair is used. We recommend that wheelchair users seek professional advice to help them decide which skills are appropriate for them and to receive training in how they should best be performed.   360 Degree view of the lab space Still photos of some skill settings Video of full Wheelchair Skills Test Version 3.1 Videotapes of specific skills
