Full Description

The STRONGBACK wheelchair is the first off-the-shelf standard folding manual wheelchair to provide frame-integrated effective posture support. Its unique ergonomic shape promotes healthy upright sitting and ensures comfort from the first moment. The STRONGBACK is as convenient, easy, and simple to operate as conventional wheelchairs.

In addition to the outstanding ergonomics, the STRONGBACK also scores with stylishly curved lines and its elegant yet sporty color scheme, and it exhibits all of the benefits expected in an ultra-lightweight wheelchair; it is easily foldable, simple to use, and highly portable.

STRONGBACK wheelchairs reflect and support the natural lumbar curve of a healthy spine.
The shape of the STRONGBACK prevents the user from slouching and putting too much pressure on the spinal discs.
Its outstanding ergonomic design offers unparalleled comfort and promotes a healthy, upright posture.

Healthy Support
Unlike standard folding manual wheelchairs, the STRONGBACK wheelchair conforms to and supports the natural and healthy lumbar curve of the spine, thus preventing the user from slouching forward and squeezing spinal discs with a tremendous amount of unhealthy pressure.

Improves Posture
Decreasing unhealthy pressure on the spine results in healthier discs, a stronger back, and long-lasting comfort while seated. Our improved seat angle aligns the pelvis for proper ergonomic posture, prevents slipping and slouching forward, improves user stability, and reduces seat shear on sensitive pressure points of the buttocks.

Lightweight and Portable
Among the lightest of their kind, STRONGBACK wheelchairs weigh only 19-26 lbs (depending on model) and have a compact, foldable design that fits easily into the trunk of your car.

Highly Adjustable
Velcro adjustable back flaps allow the user to easily adjust the location and firmness of lumbar support. There’s no need for bulky cushions or other support structures, and the swing-away detachable footrests allow for easy entry and exit.

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.
Warnings
