HOW TO ASSESS AND CHOOSE THE RIGHT POWER
OF THE DYNAMIC BACK SUPPORT CYLINDER:
Main factors to be considered by a trained
professional:
• The user's weight, width and height
• The character and strength of the body part
extensions and movement patterns
• Goals and improvement regarding the user's
"Activity daily life - ADL" and health condition.
The user's movement pattern and muscle tone may
also change over time. It is relevant to assess and
monitor the fitting of the wheelchair and the power
of gas cylinders according to the development of the
user's movement pattern and muscle tone over time.
If the gas spring is too strong, the user will not be
able to make an extension. It will be a "closed kinetic
chain", or a static position for the user.
If the gas spring is too weak, the user will not be
lifted back to his/hers original seating position after
an extension of the upper body part.
INDICATIVE correlation between body weight and
suitable recline gas spring force:
450N gas cylinder - 65 kg user weight
600 N gas cylinder - 80 kg user weight
Please contact your dealer if you need other
strength.
The recline angle range is approximately 30° for all
wheelchair-models with free movement cylinder.
Netti Dynamic AdaptPro recline solutions have a
starting angle of approximately. 87°
