CONVAID USER'S GUIDE

Fitting Guide

Correct seating and positioning encourages good posture, which in turn aids circulation, breathing and
digestion.
Please take the time to properly adjust the chair to fit the user. If the user is not correctly positioned,
check the accessories section of this user's guide to see if one or more of our accessories would help
to facilitate posture or consult a physical therapist.
Improper seating can cause problems. Please consult a physical therapist or doctor for additional
guidance.
When properly fitted, Convaid chairs will provide years of comfortable use. As the user grows, refer
back to this Fitting Guide to adjust the dimensions of the chair.

Seat Back Height

Seat Width

Fig. 38
14
The back height varies according to chair size. Headrest extensions are available
when extra height is needed to support the head.
To determine the back height, measure from the seat to the upper part of the
head. Fig. 37
Proper seat width enables the user to sit
comfortably and prevents problems from
developing. While user is seated on a flat
surface, measure from hip to hip. Fig. 38
The user should have enough room to prevent
hips and thighs from rubbing against the
frame. However, the chair should not be too
wide or the user will slide around and posture
could be affected.
Seat width is measured from the inside edge
of the seat frame. Fig. 39
