The Acta-Contour® has patented moldable aluminum stays inserted into the cover.
These stays can be molded to meet the contour of the spine.
How to Mold the Aluminum Stays:
1. Feel between the backrest and the user's back for gaps and/or identify areas that require positioning adjustments.
2. Unzip access at the top of the back and remove the stays.
3. Mold the stays to fill in the gaps and/or provide positioning.
4. Reinstall the stays and have the user rest against the Acta-Contour
5. This is an iterative process, continue making adjustments until the proper support and positioning goals have been met.
