General description
2.1
Qimova design
The Qimova chair is a modern, Danish designed and produced wheelchair of
extraordinarily high quality, which is available in many different models and
configurations.
The basic idea behind the development of the Qimova chair is to use a modular system to
create attractive bespoke wheelchairs that combine outstanding seating and posture
support for individual.
The modular design of the Qimova chair with its variable functionality is well suited to
changing user needs as well as to recirculation.
2.1.1
The Qimova chair concept
A Qimova chair offers a good seating position with posture control, pressure distribution
and relief.
The chair has a range of features that enable the user to change sitting position and weight
distribution. The tilt-in-space, full backrest recline, elevating and length-compensating leg
rests make it possible to relax in the chair in many different positions.
The chair also offers a wide range of options to adjust dimensions to meet the individual
needs.
The Qimova chair is also designed to accommodate special adaptations. Qimova has
extensive experience with making special designs of frames and cushions, for example:
wide seating, padding, side in fills, and individually built seats and backrest.

chair for as many hours as needed.

column in centrally placed soft foam. Surrounding high elastic cold foam supports the
remaining weight of the body. This construction prevents the pelvis from sliding forward
and ensures an anatomically correct sitting position. The air channels in the soft foam aid
ventilation and prevent the build-up of heat and humidity.
The seat comes in three different sizes (seat depths): small, medium and large. However,
the depth can be adjusted between the sizes.
The backrest is also made of cold foam. Side supports, wedges, are built in and the backrest
includes an inflatable lumbar support, which ensures a correct sitting position. The back
