TILTING THE SEATING UNIT
OPERATING TILT HANDLE
Press the left handle on the push bar and put
pressure to the push bar to tilt the seating unit with
one of your hands, while you have eye contact with
the user and put the other hand on the arm support.
The correct relative angle between the body parts
remain the same when the seating unit is tilted.
Wherever you let the handle loose, the seating
unit will stay in this position.
To bring the seating unit up, press the handle
and the tilt cylinder will assist you lifting the
seating unit up.
KEY WORDS REGARDING TILT AND RECLINE
OF STATIC 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.
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 bringing 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.
