What is the center of gravity/ level of activity by wheelchairs?

The center of gravity or the level of activity is used to make the wheelchair easy to tip-over sturdy:

  • The further the focus of the user in front of the axle of the rear wheel is, the less unsteady and more passive the wheelchair becomes.
    If necessary, a wheelbase extension can be used to make the chair even more stable.

 

  • The further the focus of the user behind the axle of the rear wheel is, the more active and unsteady the wheelchair becomes.
