12. Side parts
12.1 Side parts in general
Our side parts are a protection against dirt and injuries caused by the wheels. They
also serve the user’s lateral stability.
While choosing your side parts, do not forget to consider how active your child will be
or would like to be in its wheelchair. This is the rule of thumb: the more active the
user, the smaller the side parts.
All our side parts are screwed onto
back tube and frame in such a
way that your orthopaedist may
easily adjust them in height and
depth exactly according to your
child’s individual needs by simply
loosening the screws.
12.2 Arm pads
By re-adjusting the screws, the arm pad may be modified in height and, depending
on the design, even in its angle. Please keep in mind that on adjusting the arm pad,
the layer may be damaged at the respective points, so you should act very
carefully.
Safety precaution
Please take care that no weight is put on the side parts nor on the arm pads as you
get in or out of the chair. They might not be capable of bearing the burden and you
might hurt yourself.
