The purpose of the heel strap is to prevent the legs
or feet slipping backwards. It is fitted behind the
heels or higher. By making use of the velcro
fastening it is possible to alter the length of
the strap and thus to ensure the ideal position for
the feet on the footrest. Ideal positioning of the feet
is vital in ensuring a good standing position.
The gas spring are specially design to help hold your body weight in the balance.
With minimal arm work, i.e. pushing lightly on the armrests, you can stand
yourself up. Similarly, by pulling lightly you can sit yourself back down in
your seat, equally effortlessly. There is a range of spring strengths to suit
the body weight of different wheelchair users.
There is a choice of various different seat cushions, governed by your individual
needs. The Velcro fasteners fitted to the surface of your seat should allow you to
attach the majority of set cushions securely. The Velcro fasteners prevent the
cushion from slipping out of place even when you are standing up. The height
of the footrest should be adjusted to take into account the height of a given
seat cushion.
