In a multi-functional wheelchair broad shoulders can be an issue, since the back support for a less active user is adjusted higher, due to the tilt and recline function. To prevent the user from feeling the pressure of the back rails, you can use two simple accessories: the Back Widening or the Pressure Distributors. Using any of these you don´t have to go to a wider seat width to accommodate broad shoulders.

Back support: Use the lumbar angling on the 3A back support to open up the angle and allow space for the thoracic spine and the broad shoulders. If a higher back is needed, add the Back Extension (1) to create an extra 6 cm back height.
