The Lateral & Waist Supports for the Genie V2 Standing Wheelchair are designed to provide crucial stability and alignment for your torso and pelvic area. These adjustable supports help maintain proper posture, reduce the risk of leaning or sliding, and can significantly improve overall comfort and functionality.
Lateral supports work by providing firm yet comfortable pressure along the sides of your trunk. This helps prevent lateral leaning, which can lead to postural deformities, pressure sores, and discomfort over time. The waist supports, on the other hand, help maintain proper pelvic positioning, which is crucial for overall posture and can help prevent sliding forward in the seat.
These supports are highly customizable to meet your individual needs. You can adjust the height, depth, and angle of both the lateral and waist supports to find the most effective and comfortable position. This adjustability also allows the supports to be modified as your needs change over time or throughout the day.
The Lateral & Waist 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.
