Invacare Action Ampla Manual Wheelchair

&



Overview:

The multi-award winning Invacare Action Ampla manual wheelchair is specifically designed to cater for the needs of Bariatric or Plus sized individuals. Carefully developed to promote independence with outstanding features that can truly enhance and support the persons functional ability and experience of using a manual wheelchair.

The Invacare Action Ampla comprises a durable lightweight rigid Aluminium frame and an active rear wheel position for easier access to the handrims.

This clever design enables a more natural position of the upper body allowing optimal energy transfer during propulsion. In addition, the unique backrest construction also allows for free movement of the arms when propelling and the backrest upholstery adapts to a range of plus sized body shapes, maximising comfort and giving support where needed.

Featuring a new transfer aid unique to the Invacare Action Ampla which offers a resting position for the forearm whilst sat in the manual wheelchair and can be used to assist with standing transfers as the individual uses the aid as a leverage for support.

The Invacare Action Ampla can also negotiate doorways and passageways effortlessly in most environments with an optional smart transportation system to the rear of the frame. In three simple steps you can stand to tilt the chair onto the transportation system and roll the complete chair on its rear through doorways.
