seat inclination.
The higher you attach the rear wheel in the rear wheel adapter, the more the seat pitches down. This has two
effects: First, the wheelchair has a greater tendency to tilt backwards; second, the user sits deeper in the wheel-
chair and thus has more stability.

other hand, causes stronger wear of the tires on the inner side of the tread as well as stronger stress on the rim. Fur-
thermore, a large negative camber has an unfavorable effect on the directional stability of the wheelchair. With large
