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
