Description

This  Tilt-In-Space (TIS) wheelchair encourages enhanced assistance and better positioning. This makes it possible for caregivers to place the user for optimum convenience. Adjustable, elevating leg rests enable the precise positioning of the legs.
 

A tilt-in-space wheelchair is designed to provide enhanced comfort and functionality for individuals.It differs from a standard wheelchair in that it allows the user to change the angle of the seat and backrest while maintaining a fixed position in space.

The tilting feature offers several benefits:

Pressure Redistribution: 
Tilt-in-space wheelchairs are particularly useful for individuals who spend extended periods in their wheelchairs. By tilting the seat and backrest, the pressure on specific areas of the body, such as the buttocks and lower back, is redistributed. This helps to prevent pressure sores and discomfort that can result from prolonged sitting.

Postural Support: 
These wheelchairs offer excellent postural support, allowing the user to find a comfortable and ergonomic seating position. This is especially important for individuals with postural issues or orthopedic conditions.

Improved Circulation and Respiration: 
Tilting the wheelchair can also aid in improving blood circulation and respiratory function. Changing the angle of the seat and backrest can facilitate lung expansion and promote better ventilation. This can be beneficial for individuals with respiratory conditions or those at risk of developing respiratory issues due to their seated position.

Increased Comfort: 
Tilt-in-space wheelchairs are designed to enhance user comfort. The ability to change positions and relieve pressure points can significantly reduce discomfort and pain associated with sitting in a wheelchair for extended periods.

Caregiver Assistance: 
Tilting wheelchairs can make caregiving tasks easier. Caregivers can adjust the tilt to assist with tasks such as transfers, hygiene, and repositioning the user without straining their own backs.

It's important to note that the clinical benefits of tilt-in-space wheelchairs may vary depending on the specific needs and medical conditions of the individual user. Wheelchair prescription and customization should be performed by healthcare professionals to ensure that the wheelchair meets the user's unique requirements and contributes to their overall health and well-being.
