Spex Growth-Adjust Back Support

The Back Support that stretches for future growth!

The Growth-Adjust Back Support has in built height adjustment due to it’s unique shell style. Future-proof for user’s growth or a preferred change in Back Support height with the precise sliding adjustment function to accommodate up to 5” / 12.5cm of growth.

The innovative growth adjustment system has an upper sliding interface, meaning that from the initial wheelchair setup the prescriber can be confident that the back support can adjust in height as the user grows.

This is particularly effective for paediatrics. The foam and upholstery unit is matched for the longest growth setting of the Back Support, so there is no requirement to purchase different sizes of padding as the user grows.

The growth-adjustable shell is available with the following padding options:

Growth-Adjust: For users with symmetrical postures
Growth-Adjust Spex Classic: Contourable cube padding for users with asymmetries and require pressure reduction.
