Specially designed sliding board

Specially designed sliding board is easier to pull out from underneath the user after transfers.

Description
The sliding board is somewhat tapered on one side. A leather strap is stretched around the wheelchair frame to prevent the screws that hold the seat fabric in place on the front of the seat from damaging the sliding board.
