Full Description

The new Invacare FDX is an attractive, high performance power chair for the active person. The front wheel drive with G-TracTM technology combines excellent manoeuvrability indoors with directional stability outdoors, whether at high speed or across uneven ground. The new FDX comes with a configurable, flexible seat concept and is particularly easy to deal with in terms of servicing and maintenance. a slim version measuring below 60 cm width is available for indoor use.

Manoeuvrability and seating comfort: The front-wheel-drive construction offers excellent manoeuvrability combined with good outdoor performance. Mobility in confined or narrow environments is facilitated with a slim model featuring smaller tyres and measuring less than 60 cm width.

A wide choice of seat options includes the unique Invacare Easy-Adapt® seat as well as seat lift and tilt-in space.

G-TracTM – drive as on rails: The new G-Trac function works just like an electronic compass, providing superb tracking capabilities, no veering on slopes or instability around corners. Whether driving outdoors at faster speeds or indoors at very low speeds, G-Trac technology adds a new level of control for a comfortable, safe and consistent driving performance. Plus the new ACS II electronics means customers can intuitively control the various electrical options.

Higher speed and simple servicing: The unique electronics of the G-Trac allows for a high speed of 10 km/h and particularly safe performance for a front wheel drive chair. The Invacare motto for FDX is “Easy to deal with”, demonstrated in easily accessible electronics, batteries and motors.

Cognitive Abilities

For safe use, users must understand cause + effect (action = result). Independent use requires directional understanding (i.e. moving control in one direction results in matching chair movement), problem solving (i.e. plan + coordinate movements to get from A to B), and judgment (ability to learn that if something is unsafe they should not do it).

Functional Abilities

Users must have adequate vision and be able to use either a joystick, head/tray array, breath control or a combination control. This chair is best for people with upper limb weakness/pain, poor trunk control, limited endurance, cardiopulmonary disease, and obesity. This chair may be unsafe for those with visual deficits and uncontrolled seizures.

Environment

This chair is best for use outdoors and in indoor environments where there is plenty of space to turn and maneuver. User must be able to accommodate the length of the wheelchair behind them (like when pulling a trailer). This chair is ideal for climbing obstacles and inclines (although user may be limited by footplate position).

Activities

Given its stability on rugged terrain, this chair is ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, fruit-picking, and traversing the varied terrain of college/work campuses. While power chairs are bulky to travel with, this one is best for driving on grass, gravel, and cobblestone. Its also good for indoor activities where there is adequate space.
