An amputee once got her foot stuck between the strap at the back of the footplate on her wheelchair and the ground... so I helped her to get her foot out.
Looking back now, I could and should have approached that differently - but I was afraid that she might injure her only remaining foot and I wanted to get it out before she did because she was trying to yank it out not to gently.
As a carer, I just went into care mode when I saw that she needed help and didn't have her own carers with her.
