Everyone’s needs are unique! That’s why customized wheelchair seating is so important. Motion’s knowledgeable experts across Canada are trained in the latest technology to fit your wheelchair seating to the unique shape of your body to maximize comfort, functionality, and safety. What is customized wheelchair seating? Customized wheelchair seating addresses complex needs that standard seating cannot. Customized seating systems are designed to fit the unique shape and contours of the user’s body. This helps maintain proper alignment of the spine and pelvis, which is crucial for both comfort and function. Why is customized wheelchair seating important? With customized wheelchair seating, the user’s mobility increases, and their confidence is boosted. Customized seating systems can enhance maneouverability and ease of movement by providing better support and stability. Features such as foam or air-filled seats as well as custom molded backs can aid in pressure relief and advanced postural support. Customized wheelchair seating also allows for increased safety and protects the skin. Custom seating systems can improve the user’s stability in the wheelchair, reducing the risk of falls, tipping, and sliding for effective wheelchair operation. The materials used also minimize skin friction, which is critical for preventing skin breakdown. Learn more about customized wheelchair seating.
