It is relevant to assess and monitor the fitting of the
wheelchair and the power of gas cylinders according
to the development of the user’s movement pattern
and muscle tone over time. If the gas spring is
too strong, the user will not be able to make an
extension. It will be a “closed kinetic chain”, or a static
position for the user.
If the gas spring is too weak, the user will not
be lifted back to his / hers original seating
position after an extension of the upper
body part.
HOW TO ASSESS AND CHOOSE THE RIGHT POWER
OF THE DYNAMIC BACK SUPPORT CYLINDER?
Main factors to be considered by a trained
professional:
• The user’s weight, width and height.
• The character and strength of the body part
extensions and movement patterns.
• Goals and improvement regarding the user’s
“Activity daily life” and health condition.
The user’s movement pattern and muscle
tone may also change over time.
