Full Description
Panthera U2 light is a lightly balanced chair for experienced, active users.
The Panthera U2 light is designed for experienced, active users able to handle a lightly balanced wheelchair without anti-tip device as this is not an option. The Panthera U2 light has the same seat angles and dimensions as the Panthera U2 and the chassis has small outer dimensions, making it small, light and compact.
Thanks to the construction and light weight, the U2 light is an ideal choice if you want excellent seating and driving properties and a wheelchair that can easily be lifted into and out of a car.
Extra light spinergy Spox light wheels are included in the standard design. The wheelchair has a fixed rear axle made of carbon fibre. There are two design alternatives for correct balancing of the chassis, U2 light, & U2 light L. An adjustable back attachment fixed in 3 positions in the seat tubing allows for fine adjustment of the balancing.
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.
