    • E.g. Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Spinal Cord Injuries.
  • Prevents Pressure Injuries
    • The ability to tilt helps redistribute weight and prevent pressure injuries.

 

  • Improves Posture
    • Tilt allows changes in posture to achieve an upright position.

 

  • Helps Respiratory Function
    • The ability to reposition helps create space for the diaphragm and lungs.

 

  • Supports Digestive Health

Group 3 Power Wheelchairs - Power Seating Options

  • Seat tilts forward, assisting with reach and ability to perform mobility-related Activities of Daily Living (ADL).
    • E.g. Self-care, cooking, cleaning, laundry. 
  • Reduces risk of upper extremity injury associated with lateral or overhead reaching.
  • Seat tilts backward, while Pelvis/Knee/Ankle angles all stay the same.
  • Helps with pressure relief and weight re-distribution.
  • Improves position for swallowing, visual regard, and functional tasks.
  • Backrest tilts backward and opens the seat-to-back angle.
  • Offers increased comfort and pressure relief.
  • Helps create passive range of motion at hips and knees.
  • Easier access for catherization, G-tube, diapering, or changing clothes.
  • Seat elevates vertically, allowing users to reach higher objects, improve line of sight, and perform transfers.
  • Chair transforms from seated to standing position.
  • Helps users improve circulation and range of motion in lower extremities.
  • Power seating options can also be combined, depending on the base wheelchair model.

Group 3 Power Wheelchairs – Drive Wheel Placement Options

  • Smallest front-turning radius.
  • Better traction when going uphill or over uneven surfaces.
  • Footplates can be positioned closer to the body.
  • Best turning radius and maneuverability.

Requires use of 1-5 different switch controls to control direction of the chair.

 

Head Controls

  • Controls are managed inside a headrest attached to the wheelchair.

 

Switch Controls

  • Controls are pre-programmed with On/Off activations to move wheelchair in different directions.

 

Chin Controls

    • E.g. Seat cushions, back supports, trunk and lateral supports, pelvic belts, headrests, footrests.
  • Can be made from a variety of materials such as foam, fluid, air, and gel.
  • Individuals that require additional postural support and stability to accommodate spasticity.
  • Individuals that require pressure distribution to prevent pressure injuries.
  • Reduces User Fatigue
    • Correct postural supports minimize involuntary movements from spasticity.
  • Decreases Pressure Injuries
    • Custom cushions and supports re-distribute weight to achieve pressure relief.
  • Enhances Comfort
    • High-quality material ensures comfort when seated for long durations of time.
