Full Description

The Stellar LEAP is the only tilt-in-space wheelchair offering a minimum of 20°of posterior and 30°of anterior tilt in a single product. Built upon the robust Stellar frame architecture, the Stellar LEAP retains the bene ts of low knee rise during posterior tilt with the addition of an anterior tilt feature designed to enhance user function, positioning, and transfer capability.

Dynamic Recline

Dynamic recline feature allows for 30° of recline throughout the full range of tilting options.

Linked Recline

Automatically opens backrest to minimize thrust during anterior elevation.

Fold-Down

One-hand release for fold-down backrest.

Easy-out Front Rigging

An easy-to-grip trigger allows for quick removal of the front rigging.

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.
