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
