The user goes down backwards with the rear wheels of a staircase and the front wheels on the step above. He bends forward and holds on with his arms on the escalator handrail. The assistant stands behind the wheelchair a few steps below, leans forward and holds the wheelchair\u2019s backrest.<br \/>\nMake sure that no clothes can get caught in the wheels.<br \/>\nIf the tip guard is so long that it would catch in the escalator it needs to be angled out of the way.<\/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.
