7 Static Stability and its importance It is important to know the static-stability characteristics of a wheelchair for prescription and adjustment purposes. Some users need large reserves of stability to ensure their safety while others prefer finely balanced wheelchairs which have better maneuverability. Wheelchair users and prescribers should take into consideration that static stability is only one factor affecting dynamic stability, others being the position of the wheelchair user in the wheelchair, the skill of the wheelchair user, the manner in which the wheelchair is propelled, and the environment in which the wheelchair is operated. This section of RESNA WC-1 specifies tests in which static stability is measured with wheel locks (parking brakes) applied, as is the case if the wheelchair is standing on a slope. Tests are also made with the wheels unlocked, simulating the situation where the wheelchair is standing on a slope with the wheels against obstacles, the situation on a level surface with the wheels unlocked and the wheelchair user reaching for an object, or instability while rolling. These tests also give information about the ease with which a wheelchair can be tipped about its rear wheels as can happen when negotiating curbs or balancing on the rear wheels. Tests are also made that determine the tipping angle of the wheelchair when it is supported by an anti-tip device.

8 Static Stability Testing is done with a dummy in the wheelchair. The weight of the dummy is determined by the maximum allowable capacity of the wheelchair. The dummy s Center of Gravity is determined from formulas provided in section 11 of the RESNA Standards Testing is always performed in a worst-case scenario. The configuration of the wheelchair may change due to recline, tilt, elevate, or positioning of equipment like footrests, so the process of finding the least stable configuration can be an iterative one.
