    Over 30 individual measurements are taken of the user for the wheelchair, so that it fits their individual requirements.
  • ERGONOMIC OPTIONS
    A wide range of ergonomic options are available to provide optimum comfort, balance and posture.
  • LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMPACT
    The lightest possible solution is achieved using individual measurements.

The effects

  • OPTIMUM POSTURE
    Sitting in the correct position can significantly reduce the risks of developing pressure related issues in the short and long term. Good health helps promote a more active lifestyle which in turn can positively impact a user’s well-being.
  • OPTIMUM COMFORT
    Feeling comfortable increases confidence which helps the user to achieve an active lifestyle. The likelihood of developing prolonged discomfort, pain and persistent injuries are significantly reduced.
  • MAXIMISED PERFORMANCE
