settings
The average wheelchair user does not exist. This is why Handicare wheelchairs can be
adjusted according to the specific needs of the user.
In this, we make a distinction between wheelchair settings and wheelchair adjustment
options. Settings are carried out only once and must be executed by qualified
specialists, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Adjustment options can be carried out by
the user. These adjustment options do not require the use of tools.
Only to be carried out by qualified specialists
Adjusting the seating system
The extensive settings with respect to the seating system allow for optimum support
of the body. The following setting options are possible:
Seating system
SEDEO
•
Depth, width of the seat
•
Backrest angle
•
Armrest height
•
Lower leg length
•
Angle of the footplate
Seat angle, Seat height
Depending on the specific circumstances of the user of the wheelchair the seat
height can be set. Every optional seat height lays within the 6
˚
(10.5%) maximum
safe slope of according to EN12184 (1999) ClassB. Lowering the seat height has a
positive influence on the (dynamic) stability.
Seat height setting
Enlarging the seat height has a negative influence on the (dynamic) stability,
because the centre point of gravity gets higher.
Seat position and centre point of gravity setting
The seat position and centre point of gravity can be adjusted. For this purpose there
are 3 positions in the seat slide (figure 3.1).
The wheelchair is designed and tested to be used in the standard position (middle
hole). Only change the seat position and centre point of gravity to compensate
specific user circumstances. For example: when a user has no legs.
Seat position and centre point of gravity setting
Changing the seat position and centre point of gravity:
•
Will have a negative influence on the driving characteristics of the wheelchair if
used wrong.
•
Will have a negative influence on the (dynamic) stability of the wheelchair if used
wrong.
•
In case of doubt contact Handicare technical support for advise.
