The 9th for PROWAG should be a big one...interested that DWPs were never researched for difficulty to traverse in a manual wheel chair. I have a heck of a time when slopes exceed 4%, let alone pushing a chair up those. Even when I attempted to assist someone, it was difficult. I wonder if anybody knows if this issue has been addressed before.
