Adjusting the seat height
The seat height can easily be adjusted.
You can also change the angle of the seat
by having a different seat height front and
back. By changing the seat angle, you
can achieve better stability and sitting
comfort. The various methods of adjusting
the seat height also have an effect on the
wheelchair’s manoeuvrability and rolling
characteristics.
