The Separate Swing Back Footplates for the Genie V2 Standing Wheelchair offer a versatile solution designed to provide tailored support for each foot while offering enhanced convenience for transfers and maneuverability. These individually adjustable platforms allow for personalized positioning of each foot, accommodating different leg lengths or specific postural needs.
One of the primary advantages of Separate Swing Back Footplates is the ability to adjust each footplate independently. This feature is particularly beneficial for users who may have different leg lengths, foot sizes, or specific positioning requirements for each foot. By allowing individual adjustment, these footplates can help achieve optimal leg and foot positioning, potentially improving overall posture and comfort.
The 'swing back' feature of these footplates is a key element of their design. Each footplate can be independently swung up and back, clearing the front of the wheelchair. This feature is invaluable for transfers, allowing you to move closer to beds, chairs, or other surfaces without the footplates becoming an obstacle. It also facilitates closer approach to desks or tables, enhancing your ability to engage in various activities.
For users of the standing function on the Genie V2, the Separate Swing Back Footplates play a crucial role. Their sturdy construction provides a stable platform for your feet during the transition from sitting to standing, enhancing the safety and effectiveness of this feature. The individual design ensures each foot remains properly positioned throughout the movement.
The footplates are designed with both durability and comfort in mind. The surface typically features a non-slip texture to keep your feet secure, while the edges are often slightly raised to prevent feet from sliding off. The materials used are chosen for their strength, ease of cleaning, and ability to withstand daily use.
