Lift the latch for the footrests and move the footrests so they are directly in front of the chair. Make sure that the wheelchair user can comfortably place their feet on the footplates and that there is even pressure under their feet.

Pressure ulcers are caused when the skin rubs against surfaces of the wheelchair. In some cases skin irritation and blisters can occur when being in one position for long periods of time. To decrease the chance of pressure ulcers, the wheelchair must be repositioned regularly.
Pushing
Self-propelled wheelchairs enable users to move independently, without the need of someone to push them. They are more maneuverable because they are equipped with larger rear wheels and push handles. They can travel across a variety of surfaces, without having to worry about slipping over obstacles or getting stuck.
Be cautious not to hold your chair handle too tightly when you move forward. Overly pressure can cause your hands to get cramped and limit the amount of force you can use.

If you'd like to do this on your own, you'll need more training and practice under the supervision of an expert in health care.

If you don't have a clear space ahead of you, you'll increase speed quickly and may collide with other people. To prevent this from happening make sure you are aware of those in the vicinity when you are on a slope. Also, have a caregiver or a friend waiting to catch you in case you start to fall from your wheelchair.
Braking
A self-propelled chair requires the user to control the braking and guiding actions in a specific way to ensure that the chair is safe to use. This is especially important when the chair is placed on a slope as the center of gravity could move forward if brakes are not applied in a controlled way.
Always make sure that your hand is in the correct position when you push a wheelchair. Ideally you should put it at 10 o'clock (10:00) on the wheel. Release the hand at 2 o'clock (2:00).

The user of a wheelchair should place both hands on smooth flat surfaces to maintain momentum. This can be done by gripping the handrims while pushing with both hands. Hands should not be tucked tightly around the rims of the hand as this can cause injuries and lead to over-corrections as the chair turns around. It is recommended that wheelchair users play with various degrees of leaning backwards and forwards to find the best balance between control and lean.
