BACK SHELL DESIGN




  • Anthropometric data was used to understand how torso shape changes as height and width change to create the best possible fit from the fewest number of shapes. Axiom Backs are designed with a lightweight aluminum shell that is formed into your choice of 4 different contour shapes and 3 levels of height support options, providing optimal trunk stability and a personalized fit. Our bend forming process produces a back shell that is stiffer and stronger than those produced with typical roll forming.
  • Dual mounting slots for mounting hardware offer varied and versatile hardware placement designed to accommodate a wider range of back to wheelchair size integration. Hardware options that offer up to 2” of width difference between the back and the wheelchair are available.
  • Back height is adjustable independently of mounting hardware height placement offering a greater degree of placement and fitting options on the wheelchair back.


 

PB BACK - Formed to offer a 2.25” lateral profile (curve) with an included adjustable lumbar pad, providing posterior back shape to position the lumbar spine. The Posterior Back (PB) allows for freedom of movement for daily activities while providing stabile and secure torso positioning. Posterior Backs are available in Low and Mid height support levels.

PL BACK - Formed to offer a 3.65” lateral profile (curve) with an included adjustable lumbar pad, providing posterior back shape to position the lumbar spine. The Posterior Lateral Back (PL) provides additional lateral positioning support for those in need of a moderate positioning back. Posterior Lateral Backs are available in Low, Mid and Tall height support levels.

DL BACK - 6.0” of lateral profile (curve), offers the highest amount of shaped lateral contour in the Axiom Back lineup. The Deep Lateral Back (DL) provides maximum lateral positioning support with a more open profile for a more neutral spine position. Deep Lateral Backs are available in Mid and Tall height support levels.


LATERAL BACK -  Formed to offer the same 3.65” of lateral profile (curve), but without a lumbar pad, leaving the center of the back shell more planar. The Lateral Back (LB) provides moderate lateral positioning support with a more open profile for a more neutral spine position. Lateral Backs are available in Low, Mid and Tall height support levels.
