Please Note:
Setting the desired position of the
nxt
back may
compromise the stability of the wheelchair.
Be aware that the forward and aft position for the backrest will change
the user’s centre of gravity within the wheelchair. A back set in the most
rearward position can significantly reduce the rearward stability of the
wheelchair. In contrast, a more forward back position may reduce the
wheelchair’s forward stability.
