What is a complex tilt and recline power wheelchair?

  • A complex power tilt and recline wheelchair is a motorized chair that can tilt and recline to help users with severe mobility needs:

  • Tilt: Tilts the user's body backward while keeping their hip angle the same, shifting their weight to their back
  • Recline: Changes the seat-to-back angle while keeping the seat angle to the ground the same
  • Benefits: Can help with pressure relief, safer transfers, catheterization, and managing tone and spasticity
  • Features: Can be customized to the user's needs, and may include specialty drive controls, elevating leg rests, and positioning items like headrests
  • Who might benefit: Can be a good option for users who have spasticity and tone conditions, need to self-catheter, or have difficulty shifting their weight
  • Common users: Many children with conditions like spinal cord injury, muscular dystrophy, and cerebral palsy use complex power tilt wheelchairs

  • Pressure relief

    By simply tilting or reclining, users can distribute their body weight and prevent pressure sores from developing on the buttocks and other seated areas. This not only leads to increased comfort but can also greatly benefit posture for overall better health.

  • Improved Circulation

    Optimizing your position through tilt and recline not only helps promote proper blood flow, but also enables smoother navigation with either self-propulsion or assistance.

  • Postural Management

    The inclusion of tilt functionality in lightweight manual wheelchairs is crucial for maintaining a stable upright posture, especially for those with poor trunk control.

  • Digestive Support

    Beneficial for both digestive discomfort and catheterization, a reclined position has been shown to effectively ease symptoms and improve ease of catheter insertion.

  • Improved Comfort and Independence

    The incorporation of adjustable positions into a product or service is crucial for improving user comfort and enhancing overall quality of life.

  • Respiratory Function

    Incorporating controlled tilting of the body can effectively improve lung capacity and assist those facing respiratory challenges through opening the diaphragm.

  • Improved Blood Pressure

    By incorporating controlled tilting of the body, individuals suffering from autonomic dysreflexia can effectively manage their blood pressure fluctuations.
