Assistive Technology Guide - Manual Wheelchair Reclining - Tilt In Space
This Assistive Technology Guide is designed to assist you in considering your needs related to reclining and tilt-in-space manual wheelchairs. Tilt in space means that the back and seat tilt back as one to approx. 35 degrees (check with supplier). Reclining means that the backrest can lay back to approx. 120 degrees (check with supplier). Some chairs also feature leg elevation. These features facilitate weight redistribution thus improving pressure management and comfort for the user. They can also assist with maintaining good sitting posture if the person cannot hold their sitting posture against gravity.
Consider organising a seating assessment with an Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist before purchasing a wheelchair of this kind.
