Full Description
The Spiral is the first six-wheel pediatric base available on the market. Its design promotes the autonomy of the child and allows a 45 degree tilt around the propulsion wheel.
FIRST PEDIATRIC BASE WITH A SIX WHEELS CONFIGURATION
The middle position of the propulsion wheel promotes the autonomy of the patient. This wheel position reduces the turning circle and makes the Spiral more stable and easier to propel while in a tilted position.
REAR CASTERS TILT MECHANISM TO OVERCOME OBSTACLES
By a simple press of the foot, the rear casters tilt to overcome obstacles and facilitate access of paratransit services.
INNOVATIVE TILT
The central pivot allows a 45° tilt around the propulsion wheels. This concept (patent pending) makes it possible to keep the relative position of the armrests consistent with the wheels.
The result: an excellent propulsion position regardless of the tilt angle!
FOLDING BACKREST
The folding aspect of the backrest is very convenient for storing the Spiral inside the car. Lightweight and very easy to adjust, the backrest is adjustable in angle of
85 ° to 120 ° (by 5 ° increments).
BRAKES ALWAYS WITHIN REACH
The design of the Spiral allows the brakes to follow the tilting angle of the chair. This feature improves the child’s safety by ensuring constant
access to the brakes, no matter how inclined he or she is.
PROTECTION AGAINST UNCONTROLLED MOVEMENTS
An optional dynamic backrest offers protection from uncontrolled movement and helps reduce wheelchair damage. The dynamic backrest reduces pain caused by muscle spasms and facilitates their control. It promotes postural trunk control by allowing muscle stretching without restrictions.
CERTIFIED TRANSIT SAFETY
The Spiral has gone through a dynamic crash test to ensure the safety and security of your child when seated in their wheelchair aboard a motor vehicle. The crash testing was conducted in accordance with RESNA WC 19 and ISO 7176-19 industry standards.
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.
