motors are not only a key component of the
TrueTrack technology, the design is 75% efficient resulting in 17%
more battery range than Invacare’s 4-pole motors. Battery range is
an important feature for active users and users requiring powered
seating systems.
TrueTrack Technology
The patented TrueTrack technology features GB motors and
motor controller. This feature helps keep the power wheelchair
on a true forward path – even on many slopes, thresholds and
uneven terrains. TrueTrack minimizes the need for veer correction,
diminishing fatigue for joystick and switch drivers.
TrueTrack Technology is beneficial for the client for the
following reasons:
• As the power wheelchair holds a truer course, the driver needs to
make fewer course corrections. This makes driving more efficient
by reducing the necessary amount of movement. Reducing the
required movement can increase overall speed (i.e. the client may
be able to move down a hallway faster, as less compensatory
movements are required), decrease fatigue and promote safety/
independence while driving, because the chair is not pulled off
course. This is true for drivers using a proportional control as well
as a digital or non-proportional system.

Technology
• This feature is critical for clients who fatigue
easily, as less compensatory movements are
required.
• This feature also is critical for clients who use a
non-proportional or digital access method (i.e. a
head array with proximity switches or pneumatic
sip-n-puff controls). Driving with switches can
be very tedious and inefficient. Making frequent
course corrections significantly increases the
effort, time and energy required. Fewer course
corrections translates to a more efficient, safer
driver.
