In a multi-functional wheelchair, the back is usually adjusted high, covering the shoulders. Make sure the user has full contact with the back support, from the level of PSIS and up, preferably over the top of the kyphosis. The back height is easily adjusted using the 3A adjustments.

Adjust the 3A angles by fine-tuning the lumbar angle to suit the individual. If their spine can be corrected even a little, then the smallest of lumbar adjustments will be beneficial for improving head position for feeding, communication, and eye contact

9. Back Angle Control

Limits the back angle forward on the Prio for an active seat position. By adjusting the length of the strap, the active back support setting can be controlled. The back will always stop at the preset angle.

10. Gas Piston Clips

Reduce the angle options. The more clips added, the less the chair can recline. Reduces the control range of the seat angle by 2° per clip and the back angle by 2.5° per clip.
