Full Description
The Ki Mobility Catalyst 5 is constructed with aircraft-grade aluminium and has a raft of innovative features that make it an efficient, useful and thoughtfully designed go-anywhere folding chair.
The Catalyst’s seat frame is nestled alongside the main frame rather than on top, which creates a better redistribution of load and a stronger structure.
Folding is achieved with a dual interlocking cross brace, for maximum rigidity when propelling, and a power x-hinge that mechanically locks the frame into the unfolded position, rather than using the user’s weight on the seat fabric to hold the frame open.
Ki Mobility’s patented swing away footplates can be simply and easily attached or removed and a tapered join keeps them snugly fitted and rattle free.
These advanced features combined with comprehensive adjustability make the Catalyst 5 a versatile choice that can be tailored to the user’s needs.
For an even lighter option, the Catalyst 5Ti has a titanium frame with optional titanium cross braces

Cognitive Abilities
For safe independent use, users must understand cause + effect (action = result). Independent use requires directional understanding (i.e. moving the wheels in one direction results in matching chair movement), problem solving (i.e. combine + time 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 sufficient vision, trunk control and enough upper extremity grip, strength and stamina to steer and/or propel the chair. For foot propulsion, users must also have functional use of at least one lower extremity. Their adjustable foot and armrests and seat position make them appropriate for users requiring minimal positioning. This chair may not be appropriate for those with visual deficits, uncontrolled seizures, bilateral upper extremity weakness and those with poor trunk control.
Environment
Standard wheelchairs can be used both indoors and outdoors. They perform best on firm, flat surfaces such as pavement, groomed footpaths, cycle paths and in and around home. While it can be used outdoors, they not intended to be used on rough terrain, slopes, loose gravel, or sand. Their relatively small turn radius makes them appropriate for indoor use where space is limited.
Activities
Their maneuverability and small turn radius make standard wheelchairs ideal for use in tight spaces (stores, elevators, public washrooms, public transit etc.). While they can be used outdoors, they are best for activities done on flat level surfaces like urban sightseeing or sidewalk commuting.
Please speak with your healthcare provider and schedule an in-person consultation before purchasing this product, to evaluate whether it is truly the best option for you.
