V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
J. Anti-Tips
Anti-tip tubes help prevent your wheelchair from tipping over backwards. When adjusted properly,
they provide a significant increase in rearward stability. Your stability can be affected by traversing
uneven ground, a ramp, slope or other surface that changes your relationship to gravity. Your
stability can also be affected by other forces acting on you and your wheelchair, such as someone
pushing down or leaning on your push handles or other parts of your chair. This can happen to even
the most experienced wheelchair user. People in your environment do not necessarily understand
they are impacting your stability.
