For all protocols the tall grab bars were preferred. For protocol C the medium and short back rests were almost equally preferred. Although the participants selected a grab bar and backrest height, not all participants used them when they were on the station. The numbers and percentages of participants that actually used the grab bars are shown in Table 18. Only a few people used the backrests during the transfers. For transferring higher one participant used the backrest with their trailing arm on the way back to their WMD seat after having obtained the transfer. Two participants used the backrest for the minimum height transfers. They used the backrest by their trailing arm moving back to their mobility device seat.
