7.1 SEAT ANGlE
the seat angle is regulated using the release
handle mounted on the push bar.
the seat unit can be tilted from
-5° to +20°.
if you adjust the seat tilt below 0°, there
is an increased risk of slipping forward out of
the chair. alu rehab recommends the use of a
hip belt to prevent falling out of the chair
7.2 bACkrEST ANGlE
the backrest angle is regulated using the
release handle mounted on the push bar. the
angle can be regulated from 90° forward to
45° backwards.
To ensure correct function of the
wires, these must never be taut.
The seat and back-rest angle must not
be adjusted without using the anti-tips.
the release handles has each one of the
following label:

risk for tipping.
Check the position of anti-tip.
When chair back extension is mounted,
the tipping risk increases. If necessary it
should be improved by moving the main
wheels further back. Always use anti-tippers
when recline and tilt functions are activated.

tilt and recline are the basic benefits of a
comfort wheelchair. it allows for varying
seating positions during the time in the
wheelchair.
We have reviewed the clinical evidences
regarding tilt and recline, and found there are
several studies or best practice guidelines
suggesting that the tilt and recline sequence
is important to reduce shear and sliding:
first tilt then recline afterwards.
When bring-
ing the client upright again, the sequence
should be recline first then tilt. it would seem
that the most shear would be induced when
going upright from a recline and tilted
position.
7.4 DECrEASE THE PoSSIbIlITy
of SlIDING, SHEAr AND PrES-
SUrE SorES:
only use the tilt angle to achieve variation of
the seating position for the user. it is com-
mon knowledge that recline should not be
adjusted after the back angle is accommo-
dated to the user’s best seating position.
the muscle tone of the neck and back should
be as low as possible for the user to prevent
sliding, and a change of the recline angle
from the original position will interrupt and
destroy the correct body position, and cause
an increased muscle tone in the neck.
if the recline function is used during a
transfer situation or other situations, it is very
important that the recline angle is adjusted
back to the correct, original position when
the user is back to a normal seating position.
Wrong usage of recline causes an increased
possibility of sliding, and this means an in-
creased danger of shear (vertical and
horizontal forces) and pressure sores.
