What Defines This Lightweight Wheelchair
Ergonomic Curved Backrest
Strongback's curved backrest follows the spine to support better seated posture.
Adjustable Lumbar Support
Velcro back flaps let you move and firm up the lumbar support to fit the rider.
Attendant Hand Brakes
Hand brakes on the push handles let a caregiver slow and control the chair on slopes.
About 24 lbs
Light enough to lift easily, and about 16 lbs with the footrests, wheels, and anti-tippers removed.
Quick-Release 24" Wheels
Large rear wheels let the rider self-propel and pop off for loading into a car.
Folds to 14"
A compact fold fits more trunks and closets.
Set the lumbar support first. Have the rider sit all the way back, then adjust the Velcro back flaps until the support sits at the curve of the lower back. A few minutes of setup makes a big difference in all-day comfort. Questions? 1-866-218-0902.

Wheelchair Measuring Guide
Wheelchair Measuring Guide
Wheelchair Measurements:
- Hip Width:
Use this to figure seat width if it is the widest point. - Widest Point:
Measure the widest area across the lower extremities if different from the hip width. This may influence seat width or arm style. - Chest Width:
Measure the widest point of the thorax just below the armpit. This measurement may influence system width or back width. - Heel to Knee:
Use this for legrest extensions and seat height. - SRP to Knee (Seat Reference Point to Knee):
This will determine the seat depth. - Elbow to SRP (Elbow to Seat Reference Point):
Measure this width with the arm in a 90-degree angle at the elbow and the shoulder in a neutral position. - Shoulder Height:
This will determine the height and the style of the back panel or the start for a custom back. - Head Height:
This will help determine the proper headrest height.
