INVACARE® INTOUCH
PCS
Positioning Back
™
The Invacare® InTouch™ PCS is a Positioning Back with applications for both manual and power chair users, for upright seating
systems and for tilt and/or recline systems. The back was designed with features that synergize to provide the exceptional
Positioning, Comfort and Stability required by wheelchair users every day. If the shape is not right, then nothing else matters.
Positioning
• Lightweight aluminum back with 3" of
lateral contour depth
• Scapular cutouts
• Tapered contours at the sacral portion
• New easy to adjust hardware
Spacer fabric effectively dissipates
heat and moisture.
Comfort
• Soft foam over the back shell
• New spacer fabric upholstery
• Unique sizes in 1" width increments
Stability
• Optional thoracic lateral supports and pelvic
Scapular
cutout
stabilizers for wheelchair users with
positioning needs that require additional
lateral or pelvic control
• Unique back mounting hardware

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
Hardware
Features Benefits
Single-point mounting hardware Provides dual point strength in addition to secure mounting between canes without any unwanted play, while allowing height, depth
and back angle adjustment. Designed to mount onto back canes with an outside diameter of 1" or 7/8"
One tool assembly Only one tool needed for all installations, adjustments and accessories
Quick release latch Allows one hand operation for removal and remounting of the back during transport

Features Benefits
Aluminum shell Lightweight to reduce overall weight of the frame and minimizes weight penalty when used with manual mobility thereby
improving efficiency with propulsion
Pre-drilled headrest holes Headrest can be mounted directly on the back and easily accommodates standard headrest mounting hardware

Features Benefits
Thoracic Lateral Supports Optional supports (4" tall) provide improved trunk control and stability
Pelvic Stabilizers Optional supports (3" tall) promote pelvic stability
These optional supports provide additional positioning for the trunk and pelvis to increase support for maximizing
upright (spinal extension) and midline (centered) trunk positioning. The thoracic lateral supports and pelvic
stabilizers are adjustable in height and width for accommodating fixed posture asymmetries, correcting flexible
postural deformities or adjusting over time to support postural changes incrementally in steps. Additionally, these
supports act as clinician’s hands to keep the patient in the best position identified.
