Full Description

Northern Lite

A fully customizable, foldable wheelchair perfect for today’s ‘on the go’ end user.
Northern Lite is a lightweight, compact folding chair that is easy to adjust for optimal performance and functionality. The chair’s center of gravity can be adjusted in 1/4″ increments horizontally and the axle plate location can be adjusted vertically, in addition Northern Lite comes standard with removable height adjustable t-style armrests.

ADJUSTABLE ARMRESTS

Our selection of armrests allows for easy height adjustment of the t-style arm, and are removable, allowing users to transfer easily.

STORAGE POCKET

With every Northern Lite wheelchair we offer a standard front pocket for storage. Now you can keep the most useful things in your life close at hand.

FRONT RIGGING

Choose from a range of leg rests to support your legs in the position you find best for optimal support and circulation.

WHEEL LOCK

Our lock system is designed to keep your wheelchair in ‘park’ mode when performing daily tasks that involve upper body movement. Wheel lock extensions are also available for users who have limited reaches.

QUICK RELEASE

Future Mobility’s ‘Quick Release’ system allows for easy changing and removal of the wheelchair’s tires. This is valuable to anyone who uses a folding chair for transportation, or wants to reduce the chair’s total weight before loading it onto a vehicle.

REAR AXLE PLATE

This feature allows the user to adjust their center of gravity. It comes standard with our Northern Lite wheelchair. It allows many different seat to floor heights and center of gravity adjustments. It’s possible to set the wheelchair according to your particular requirements.

QUICK FLIP ANTI TIPPERS

Our fall prevention system comes standard, and is de**signed to protect your loved ones from harm.

DOUBLE CROSS BRACE

Northern Lite uses Double Cross brace construction. This design improves the wheelchair’s strength and stability.

ADJUSTABLE TENSION BACK

Designed to provide proper back support for a wide variety of users. Use the hook and loop straps for accommodating different back postures. Simple, comfortable, and effective support is provided to maximize the wheelchair’s function. Lightweight and durable.

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

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.
