MAX 8 head support hardware provides the ultimate combination of strength and adjustability. The piano-hinge style joints, along with a double taper, result in the strongest hardware on the market. The MAX 8 hardware offers mid-line and lateral-offset to provide maximum adjustability and comfort.
BodiLink Lateral Trunk Support (LTS) hardware and pads have been designed with the body’s shape in mind and to facilitate enhanced comfort and proper trunk alignment. The GT2 swing-away hardware is a link/joint system used to increase adjustability. The spring-loaded joints allow for easy set up, and the swing-away mechanism can be placed on the top or bottom for easier removal for clients with limited dexterity. The premium moldable, supportive pad design, along with the unique wrist joint, allows pad rotation to match the body’s shape for improved contact area and comfort.
BodiLink premium lateral pelvic/thigh supports (LPTS) pads are designed to provide enhanced comfort, additional base support and positioning for the user. The Telescoping Taper (TT) hardware with power mount makes it easy to install on Permobil power wheelchairs. The LPTS pads, in combination with the TT hardware, allow nearly infinite pad adjustability with 360o of swivel. The removable TT hardware features a trigger-release lever designed to be the most user-friendly trigger activation, and can be rotated in place for multiple configurations.

Our last two blogs in the power wheelchair series have been about power seat functions. We know that power seat functions are the different positions a power wheelchair can achieve and today we're taking a closer look at power standing.
Hi again. In our last Balanced Ride blog we discussed the importance of material science in the complex rehab technology industry. Frame material choice in ultra-lightweight manual wheelchairs (ULMWCs) plays a pivotal role for someone searching for a more Balanced Ride. Today we are going to dive a bit deeper how and why aluminum is used when manufacturing ULMWCs. Aluminum is the material used most often, though it is still surprising that it was only 50 years ago that people started to use it in the design and production of ULMWCs. Especially when you consider the fact that wheelchairs or similar devices have been used for over 2000 years.
