Pelvis Positioning

Lightweight Wheelchairs for Children & Adults

When choosing your folding portable wheelchair, it is important to choose the proper seat angle – upright, slight angle to the seat back, or an adjustable tilt in space. Once you chose your lightweight wheelchair, it is then important to select the correct positioning options. Proper positioning in an adult or pediatric wheelchair is very important to prevent and accommodate irregularities, to enhance capabilities and promote better health.
