Prio is a tilt and recline wheelchair with a 3A back system for postural support
When individuals can no longer sit upright in a standard wheelchair, a tilt and recline wheelchair is often used to provide additional support to improve comfort and sitting tolerance. However, this can also result in an unnecessary increase in dependency on others.
Unlike other tilt and recline wheelchairs, the Prio is designed to optimise activity based on individual ability providing the support and comfort needed every step of the way. Right now and tomorrow too as needs change.
All you need to know is the hip width
All you need to know is the hip width to define the correct wheelchair size. The rest can be adjusted to fit the individual user´s needs.
Prio give more opportunities to create shape and support for the user to sit active/upright and for comfort and relief while resting. Work with adjustments and simple accessories to shape the wheelchair completely according to the user’s needs. Right now. And also tomorrow.
Facilitate ability, do not give up on it – With Prio you can reach your positioning and activity goals.
