CONVAID USER’S GUIDE

 

Seat width is measured 
from the inside edge of the 
seat frame. Fig. 37

Fig. 37

Fig. 36

Proper seat width enables the user to sit 
comfortably and prevents problems from 

developing. While user is seated on a flat 

surface, measure from hip to hip. Fig. 36

The user should have enough room to pre-
vent hips and thighs from rubbing against 
the frame. However, the chair should not be 
too wide or the user will slide around and 
posture could be affected.

Seat Width

Fig. 35

The back height varies according to chair size. Headrest extensions are 
available when extra height is needed to support the head.

To determine the back height, measure from the seat to the upper part of the 
head. Fig. 35

Seat Back Height

 

Seat back height

Correct seating and positioning encourages good posture, which in turn aids circulation, 
breathing and digestion.

Please take the time to properly adjust the chair to fit the user. If the user is not correctly 

positioned, check the accessories section of this user’s guide to see if one or more of our acces-
sories would help to facilitate posture or consult a physical therapist.

Improper seating can cause problems. Please consult a physical therapist or doctor for additional 
guidance.

When properly fitted, Convaid chairs will provide years of comfortable use. As the user grows, 

refer back to this Fitting Guide to adjust the dimensions of the chair.
