How to use a manual wheelchair - Part 6 Moving up and down kerbs 

Yeah true I just searched up other videos and tried it and I can get up sometimes after only 2 practice sessions Just do a wheelie and hold it for a few seconds Push forwards and lean back for a second when approaching the curb, get your front wheels on, and continue pushing but now you have to lean forwards and just push until you get up To go down, just face the same way you went up, lean forwards, and slowly roll back off the curb To go down forwards, you have to be able to hold and control a wheelie for long enough and then land down off the curb and let your front wheels touch the ground without tipping forwards If you fall off, just crawl back into the chair and try again If you get stuck going up, just wheel back again and try again with a little more speed and technique

So true

That’s what I thought this video was gonna be! Considering it says manual wheelchair which means self propelled!

@@SpicyGhoulette it means 'Pushed', not 'Motorised'....

@@bernicarey4953 I’m not talking about ‘motorised’ wheelchairs, I said *self propelled* meaning I push my chair *manually* myself with my arms. I am the motor. These are commonly known as self propelled or manual chairs, for obvious reasons. This video title is misleading because it appears to be for a manual/self propelled user like myself but it’s actually for people using and pushing attendant wheelchairs. I’m a new wheelchair user trying to find videos to make pushing myself around outside as easy as possible because this shit is HARD! I was hoping to learn something new that would be useful to me and ended up being disappointed. It’s hard enough to find videos like this that are straightforward and informative without them having misleading titles, which wastes my time.

However, it helped me a lot as a caregiver. Most of the videos are for self-drivers, but my husband is not able to do that.
