Easily solve upper torso positioning needs for most wheelchair users with the Spex Classic T Shape Back Support.
The T Shape Back Support incorporates the classic Spex contouring cube system to allow on-the-spot customisations for torso comfort and asymmetry needs, whilst also providing greater stability for the user’s upper body.
Greater stability in the trunk can allow for improved head and neck movements, and greater contact surface can aid with pressure distribution for comfort. The contouring and immersion ensures that individual body shape and comfort needs are easily responded to with the T Shape Back Support.
The T Shape provides superior upper back and shoulder support, and is especially useful in situations where the user requires tilt-in-space and their upper body and shoulders will have more contact with the contact surface of the back support.
Superior upper back and shoulder support
Effortless customisations
On-the-spot adaptions for changing postural needs
Instant results
Cubes can be removed and added at any time
Contouring doesn’t move or slip out of adjustment
Additional contouring support wedges can be used to further enhance the degree of contouring for individual body shapes
While the standard Classic Back Support style with its rectangle shape fits between the wheelchair canes, the T Shape sits in front of the wheelchair canes due to the additional shoulder support components.
Requires a comfortable back support to reduce torso pain
Requires spinal alignment and support
Has skin breakdown/pressure care needs
Has bony or protruding skeletal prominences
Have changing postural needs
Pertains a maladaptive or asymmetric posture
For Mild Bony Prominences
For Immersion
For Asymmetry
Without even adjusting the cube system, the Spex back support has slight contouring and integrates a comfortable pressure reducing foam surface layer to absorb mild bony prominences and asymmetries for uniform torso contact.
For individuals that require immersion into the back support, simply adjust the cube contouring cell system to configure for a perfect fit and shape for the user’s back.
For asymmetrical or maladaptive postures, the contour can be arranged to provide the matching shape required to support the user’s torso profile.
Size OptionsThickness of the back support is 7 cm. The Spex Classic Back Support is designed to be contoured and this measurement only reflects the thickness without any of this contouring. Therefore the back support thickness will likely be less than 7cm in some sections and more in others.
Red squares are standard sizes
Non-standard or custom sizes are available on request.
