4 Wheelchair settings

The average wheelchair user does not exist. This is

why Handicare wheelchairs can be adjusted according

to the speciﬁ c needs of the user.

In this, we make a distinction between wheelchair

settings and wheelchair adjustment options. Settings

are carried out only once and must be executed by

qualiﬁ ed specialists, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Adjustment options can be carried out by the user.

These adjustment options do not require the use of

tools.

4.1 Seating system

The extensive settings with respect to the seating

system allow for optimum support of the body

(

 Seating system). The following setting options are

possible:

1. Seat depth and seat width

2. Backrest angle

3. Armrest height

4. Lower leg length

4.2 Seat height

Depending on the speciﬁ c circumstances of the user

of the wheelchair the seat height can be set. Every

optional seat height lays within the 10˚ (17.6%)

maximum safe slope of according to EN12184 (2009)

ClassB. Lowering the seat height has a positive

inﬂ uence on the (dynamic) stability.

Warning!

Increasing seat height has a negative effect on dynamic

stability.

4.3 Centre of gravity setting

The wheelchair’s centre of gravity (ﬁ gure 6) can

be adjusted within the seating system (

 Seating

system).

Caution!

Changing the wheelchair’s centre of gravity may

negatively inﬂ uence the wheelchair’s driving

characteristics and/or its dynamic stability.
