front suspension forks absorb initial impact slowing vibration before it gets to
the user.
LSS dual rear shocks absorb energy independently for added stability.
Full Suspension – Less than 1 lb.
Only Invacare offers a full suspension option on a rigid chair that adds less than one pound to the weight of the chair. The Lightweight Shock Stopper (LSS) suspension package developed by Invacare and Frog Legs Inc. includes the popular Frog Legs
®
front suspension forks and exclusively-designed elastomer rear shocks.
Your Perception Will Change Forever!
The Invacare Lightweight Shock Stopper
(LSS) suspension option is like no other suspension package available. It’s a lightweight, tuned system that balances shock absorption with performance. Finally, consumers can get a comfortable ride AND the performance they demand from a rigid chair.
Clinical Benefits of Suspension
Decreased Pain Elastomer shocks absorb the
vibration reducing the impact of jolts on the body during the ride and transfers.
Decreased Reflexive Spasms Suspension reduces “quick stretch” during jolts and helps prevent consumer from pulling out of position.
Improved Stability Elastomer shocks help prevent consumer from getting jostled around when the wheelchair rolls over rougher terrain.
Greater Comfort and Endurance Reduces muscle contraction on rougher terrain allowing for a more comfortable ride and greater endurance.
