at approximately 12 inches from the ground/floor (FIGURE 5.8).
NOTE: For optimum accuracy, perform STEP 2 with the wheelchair occupied.
3. Determine difference between two measurements. If difference between the two
measurements is greater than 1/2‐inch (0 + 1/4‐inch for maximum rollability), one of
two conditions exists:
two conditions exists:
• If the back centerline measurement of the rear wheels is SMALLER than the front
centerline measurement of the rear wheels, a TOE‐OUT condition exists
(FIGURE 5.8).
(FIGURE 5.8).

centerline measurement of the rear wheels, a TOE‐IN condition exists
(FIGURE 5.8).
(FIGURE 5.8).
