6. EVERYDAY USE
OF NETTI DYNAMIC
ADAPTPRO
A Netti Dynamic AdaptPro wheelchair is an
advanced mobility aid. Please use some time to
study this manual and become familiar with the
wheelchair and all its possibilities.
Max user weight for Netti Dynamic AdaptPro is
135
kg.
After the wheelchair has been correctly adjusted to
the user described in the previous chapters, you as
an attendant need to learn how take advance of the
dynamic functions and the tilt and recline features to
give the user the most benefits of the chair.
SEAT UNIT ANGLE - TILT
The seat unit angle is regulated with the tilt handle
on the push bar left. The seat unit can be tilted from
-5° to +30°.
To prevent unintentionally tilting the seat
unit from vertical to 5 degree forwards
requires more force
BACKREST ANGLE - RECLINE
The backrest angle is regulated with the recline
handle on the push bow, right. The recline angle can
be regulated from 86° - 133°. A scale on the back
cylinder lower tube, show which recline angle is
used.
The recline handle automatically opens the
dynamic function when rotated backwards.
To lock the dynamic function and
To open the dynamic function see page 15 for
detailed descriptions.
With the recline handle locked Netti AdaptPro has
the same functions as an ordinary tilt and recline
comfort wheelchair.
6.1 KEY WORDS REGARDING TILT AND
RECLINE OF COMFORT WHEELCHAIRS
Tilt and recline are the basic benefits of a comfort
wheelchair. It allows for varying seating positions
during the time in the wheelchair, for creating
correct position, maintaining stability, stimulate ADL
and protecting skin.
We have reviewed the clinical evidences regarding
tilt and recline, and found there are several studies
and best practice guidelines suggesting that the tilt
and recline sequence is important to reduce shear
and sliding:
When changing to a resting backwards leaning
position: tilt first, then eventual recline.
When bringing the user upright from a resting
position,: the sequence should be reverse; first
correct the recline angle then the tilt.
It seem that the most shear would be induced when
going upright from a recline and tilted position
6.2 DECREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF
SLIDING, SHEAR AND PRESSURE SORES:
The tilt function is used for
giving variation of the seating
position for the user.
The recline angle - to be
adjusted by the therapist to
accommodated to the user’s best
seating position, should always
be returned to, when sitting in
upright seating position - when
the dynamic function is locked..
If the dynamic back function
is activated, the chair-back will
always return to the vertical
angle
