To get accurate measurements, you'll need a tape measure and an assistant. Follow these steps for each measurement:
- Seat Width: Measure the width of the hips or the widest part of the body when seated.
- Seat Depth: Measure from the back of the buttocks to the back of the knee, then subtract 2 inches.
- Seat Height: Measure from the heel of the foot to the back of the knee. Ensure the user is wearing the shoes they normally wear.
- Back Height: Measure from the seat of the wheelchair to the top of the user's shoulders.
