motors are not only a key component of
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 mini-
mizes 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.
• 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.
