Wheelchair How To: Steep Ramp (T5 complete paraplegic)

  • 0:00 - 0:03
    Alright, guys.
  • 0:03 - 0:07
    Another quick video to help my wheelchair people out. I'm at
  • 0:07 - 0:11
    my mom's house and she's got 3 steps to get in.
  • 0:11 - 0:17
    She doesn't have a built in ramp like I do at my house. So she bought this 5 foot aluminum folding
  • 0:17 - 0:22
    ramp that she can just, you know, fold and put here or put up when I
  • 0:22 - 0:26
    come over. So, let me just get into it, and, I'll explain as I go.
  • 0:26 - 0:32
    [p]
  • 0:32 - 0:37
    So I come up the curb on the side door. And it's important to know, like, don't have anything
  • 0:37 - 0:42
    big or pretty much anything at all on your lap. Because, I pretty much have to kiss my knees
  • 0:42 - 0:47
    to get up without
  • 0:47 - 0:54
    [p]
  • 0:54 - 1:00
    [p]
  • 1:00 - 1:05
    [p]
  • 1:05 - 1:11
    [p]
  • 1:11 - 1:15
    hands in the front of your wheels.
  • 1:15 - 1:19
    And then on the way down just do a nice steady wheelie.
  • 1:19 - 1:25
    Hop down the curb.
  • 1:25 - 1:31
    And that's about it. If you have any questions, comments, or
  • 1:31 - 1:35
    more videos that you wanna see, just let me know. And just so you can see
  • 1:35 - 1:41
    the ramp, It's just right out the curb. It's a folding, and it's got
  • 1:41 - 1:45
    a lift right there that hangs on the ledge.
  • 1:45 - 1:49
    And then you can fold it up and, you know, pack it away when you're done. Alright.
