Reclining the chair is an important option for many wheelchair users. This is often accompanied with adjusting footplates and wheelchair tilt to allow the individual full control of their comfort. Having this as an option can help wheelchair users adjust their seating for better comfort and to reduce the risk of skin breakdown. Reclining of the wheelchair back is meant to benefit the users comfort and support better positioning.
Recommended for:
- People using wheelchairs who are unable to adjust their weight and are at risk for sores or skin breakdown
- Individuals who already have skin breakdown and need to adjust their positioning on a schedule to prevent any further issues
