How to go down the stairs while in a wheelchair?

(2) Use the rear wheels to maintain balance while going down the stairs. ① Balance the wheelchair using the rear wheels, placing them at the edge of the highest step. ② Control the descent of the wheelchair. ③ Stabilize the wheelchair by pulling on the wheels, creating counteraction against the stairs.
