with chest on lap, or reaching sideways); reclining with butt forward for doing tasks in front with both hands; transferring;

using the Freewheel;

 5. Minimize extreme or potentially injurious positions at all joints.

 e.g. wheeling on level ground; wheeling up ramps (changing seat position first); Overhead reaching; transferring;

 9. Position the Rear Axle so that when the Hand is Placed at the Top Dead-Center Position on the Pushrim, the Angle

Between the Upper Arm and Forearm is Between 100 and 120 Degrees.

 E.g. Changing your seat height or COG to suit wheeling tasks

 11. Promote an appropriate seated posture and stabilization relative to balance and stability needs.

 e.g. wheeling downhill with reclined back; wheeling up ramps; dumped sitting;

 15. Instruct individuals with SCI who complete independent transfers to: Perform level transfers when possible

 e.g. flatten seat to transfer; raise seat to transfer to higher surface

WHERE ULTRALIGHTS CAN PLAY LARGER ROLE

 yes, but why not manual ultralight chairs?
