He backs up toward the escalator, adjusts the drive wheels so they do not stand between two steps and puts both arms with bent elbows on the escalator handrail. When the step is lowered he leans forward. When the stairs begin to level off, he raises his upper body and presses the wheelchair backwards with his arms.<\/p>\n<p>Description of technique according to the book \u2018Drivkraft\u2019 [Driving force] by Ake Norsten, see below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bkom\"><strong>Users comments<\/strong><br \/>\nFor a description of more driving techniques, see the book \u2018Drivkraft k\u00f6rergononmi, rullstolsteknik &amp; metodik\u2019 [Driving force driving ergonomics, wheelchair techniques and methods] by \u00c5ke Norsten.
