Features Functional Benefits
Regular and tall heights Accommodate the different postural requirements and need for taller back supports when used with tilt and/or recline
1" soft foam Provides optimal comfort with pressure redistribution
Spacer fabric Allows for improved airflow between the user and the back for optimal management of heat and moisture to promote better skin integrity
Scapular cutouts Facilitate upright positioning with trunk extension without interfering with upper extremity function. By not limiting upper extremity
range of motion, overall functionality is maximized
3" lateral contour depth Provides lateral trunk support to facilitate centering and postural control with proximal stability required for function
Sacral support Facilitates proximal stability required for function. Provides pelvic control/support for an upright posture with trunk extension
Sacral contours Tapered contours at the sacral portion of the back allow full contact of the back shell against the user without interfering with hip
placement in the seating system
Angle adjustable hardware Allows accommodation of hip range of motion limitations, kyphotic postures and posterior pelvic tilt by opening up seat to back angle
Depth adjustable hardware Allows positioning without losing seat depth, thereby maximizing the area of seating surface for optimal pressure redistribution
Height adjustable hardware Accommodates user’s positioning requirements in the wheelchair
