How to Spin a Wheelchair

Video Transcript

KEVIN BARRETT: Okay. Now, we're learning how to spin in it, okay? This is still all four wheels on the ground. You're going to learn how to spin, alright? It's a lot like how we are going forward and backwards by pushing but what we're going to be doing is we're going to be pushing one side more than the other side, just like I did right there. That was the move, okay? So when I push, I'm going to push harder with my right hand and I'm going to actually be turning left. If I push harder with my left, I'm actually turning right, okay. So, watch this. I'm going to hold this left wheel in place just like this, and as I push the right side, I start turning right. Now, if I want to go the other way, I hold onto with my right hand and push with my left hand. Now, if you want to actually start learning this without holding it, you can actually lock up one wheel with the brake, just like that, and learn how to turn with one hand. This can help if you want to do this, 50 times and do the other way 50 times. It's actually a pretty easy thing to do. So whatever you feel comfortable with, please try and do. So, that is exactly how you start turning a wheelchair. Next, we're going to move on.
