Wheelchair Skills: Managing Steps

In this topic, we will cover the management of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI).
This playlist introduces the basics of manual wheelchairs and gait training.
When prescribing manual wheelchairs, there are few important dimensions to be considered, such as wheelchair depth, wheelchair width, back height, etc. Once a patient is fitted in an appropriate wheelchair, several skills need to be trained to optimize the patient’s independence.
Gait training is done with patients with incomplete injuries using different assistive devices based on the patient’s abilities. Here we will show a suggested progression for gait training.
In this video, we demonstrate the technique for going up and down steps with the assistance of 2 people.

Thanks for your comment. My first thought would be to recommend the wheelchair skills program, this is an online page with helpful information about managing wheelchairs. They have developed an outcome measure called the Wheelchair Skills Test which can be used to plan treatment and also check the patient's accomplishment of outcomes.
This is a link to their page:
wheelchairskillsprogram.ca/en/
They also have tutorial videos.
