Full Description

Power meets performance on the new F5 Corpus power wheelchair with a blazing 7.5mph top end speed and upgraded ComfortRide Pro suspension. All-wheel independent, fully adjustable, oil dampened shocks provide the ultimate in ride comfort while helping to reduce vibrations that can transfer from terrain up to user. Experience enhanced vibration reduction driving in all seat positions including an unprecedented 14” ActiveHeight seat elevation. Climb and reach higher with increased obstacle negotiation, exceptional motor torque and enhanced stability allowing up to 45° of ActiveReach forward tilt functionality. Standard performance options include aggressive tread tires, caster mud guard protection and 3 premium metallic colors.

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.
Warnings

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.

    I recommend this chair, but don’t buy from Motion Specialists. You don’t get warranty, only 3 months. Service is expensive.

    More confident with standing feature but doesn’t go up/down well
    This wheelchair has made things harder because it’s wider. Harder to get through doors. Some areas are inaccessible.
    When I try to stand up, the way it’s programmed doesn’t work well. Doesn’t go straight up.
    It’s not difficult to use.
    I would not recommend the permobile standup.
