IV. Adjusting the Flexa-just Stays

1. The Flexa-just stays are thin 

aluminum strips inserted into pockets 

on the inside surface of the back cover, 

behind the foam pads. NOTE: The 

Flexa-just stays can be bent to provide 

comfortable support to the gluteal area 

below the level of the back shell. 

Depending on the unique needs of the 

user, you can easily adjust the stays to 

provide the correct amount of support. 

The stays are easy to bend using hand 

pressure—no tools are required 

(Figure 10).
2. The stays can be bent while the user is sitting in the wheelchair. Simply insert 

your hand between the foam insert and the sitter, grasp the lower portion of the 

stays through the cover and foam insert, and bend in the amount and direction 

needed to apply comfortable support.
