The seat height, seat depth, back angle,
seating system/upholstery, size/position
of the rear wheels, size/position of the
front casters, as well as the user condition
directly relate to the stability of the
wheelchair. Any change to one or any
combination of the nine may cause the
wheelchair to decrease in stability. These
adjustments must be performed by a
qualified technician. Seat-to-floor heights
have specific positions depending on rear
wheel size, rear wheel position, front caster
size/position and seat-to-floor angle. These adjustments MUST
be performed by a qualified technician.
