Abstract
A method of operating a wheelchair during an un-recline process, where the wheelchair includes a seat frame and a back frame, includes positioning the wheelchair user in the wheelchair with the back frame reclined, and rotating the seat frame of the wheelchair so that the seat frame and the back frame form an angle that is within the range of from about 80 degrees to about 120 degrees. The back frame is unreclined by rotating the back frame and the seat frame while maintaining the angle between the seat frame and the back frame within the range of from about 80 degrees to about 120 degrees.
