The 90 Degree Supports for the Genie V2 Standing Wheelchair are specialized positioning aids designed to help maintain a right-angle posture for your torso and hips. These supports are particularly beneficial for users who need extra postural support due to weakness, neurological conditions, or other factors affecting core stability.
The primary function of the 90 Degree Supports is to promote and maintain an upright seated position. By providing firm support at key points along the torso and hips, these supports help prevent slouching, leaning, or sliding in the chair. This proper alignment is crucial for respiratory function, digestion, and overall comfort during extended periods of sitting.
These supports are highly adjustable, allowing for precise positioning to meet your individual needs. You can modify the height, depth, and angle of the supports to achieve the most effective and comfortable position. This adjustability also means the supports can be fine-tuned as your needs change over time.
The 90 Degree Supports play a vital role during the standing function of your Genie V2. They help guide your body into the correct position as you transition from sitting to standing, ensuring proper alignment and enhancing the safety and effectiveness of this feature.
The materials used in these supports are carefully selected for both effectiveness and comfort. The support surfaces are firm to provide the necessary stability, but are padded to prevent pressure points during extended use. The coverings are typically made from breathable, easy-to-clean materials that help manage temperature and moisture.
