This rigid, highly adjustable backrest is designed to provide support at the sacral and lumbar region while allowing unrestricted upper body movement, making it well suited to active wheelchair users who self-propel. Its lower-profile design helps maintain freedom through the upper trunk and shoulders, supporting more efficient everyday mobility.
The backrest is easy to install on most wheelchairs and offers exceptional adjustment options, including backrest angle and seat depth, which can be adjusted while the user remains seated in the wheelchair. This allows for more practical fine-tuning and a more individualised setup.
A ventilated spacer fabric and shell system helps improve airflow through the backrest, supporting comfort throughout the day. The backrest also includes an additional positioning kit with lateral stability wedges and a lumbar pad, allowing the setup to be tailored to individual support needs.
For added strength and stability, four heavy-duty attachment brackets secure the backrest firmly to the wheelchair back canes, helping provide a strong fit with minimal movement or wobble.
This backrest is suited to individuals who require:
- A solid, rigid backrest
- The ability to self-propel
- Minimal to moderate postural support
- Improved spinal and pelvic positioning while maintaining propulsion efficiency
- Support for mild torso asymmetries
- A solution that can accommodate changing postural needs over time
