1.4 Specifications
Kika is a very lightweight, tiltable children’s
wheelchair with a rigid frame and a firm wheel
base. The entire seat-back-unit is tiltable by
30° via the gas pressure spring, and the back
angle may be adjusted 40° backwards or
folded frontwards. Thanks to its light weight, its
outstanding handling characteristics, as well as
the custom-fit adjustment options of the
ergonomically ideal grip point, Kika may also
be used as an activity wheelchair. Hence Kika
is the perfect combination of an activity
wheelchair AND a buggy.
Kika is indexed for children with a seat width
from 20 cm (approx. 7.9 in) and a weight of up
to 50 kg (approx. 110 lbs). It supports early
and careful activation of low-strength and/or
very small people. The tilting and back angle
adjustment contribute to shifting strains and
thus training the entire tonicity as well as
stimulating the cardiovascular system, the
metabolism and digestive tract. An upright
position of the pelvis and a good decubitus-
prophylaxis are being supported. Kika aids in
developing reflex control and perception,
prevents scolitotic processes and supports the
development of controlled muscular tonicity.
These possibilities conform to the following
disease patterns:
•
spinal muscle atrophy
•
Spina Bifida
•
craniocerebral injury
•
cerebral palsies
•
all forms of paraplegia
•
infantile cerebral palsy (ICP)
•
paralysis
•
athetosis
•
ataxia
•
unstable circulation and metabolism
•
risk of decubitus
•
difficulties in obtaining/maintaining an
upright position
•
pathological patterns of movement
•
distortion of perception
•
asymmetries
•
lack of body and head control
From SW 20 cm (approx. 7.1 in) and up to
a maximum payload of 50 kg (approx. 110
lbs), there are 2 different frame sizes
available, dependent on the wheel size
chosen:
•
Frame size 1 (20’’ wheel)
•
Frame size 2 (22’’ and 24’’ wheel)
Kika is not suitable for use in the following
cases:
•
tonicity disregulation (hyper- and
hypotonicity)
•
epilepsy/spasticities
The intended maximum payload must not
be excessed.
