Etac Prio Manual Wheelchair

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.

• Dynamic posterior pelvic support: Adapts to both activity and rest. Reclining the back support will automatically reduce the strap tension and retighten when the back is brought to an upright position. The ideal combination for activity and rest. The pelvic strap is height adjustable for precise setting. The dynamic posterior pelvic support cannot be combined with Prio electric tilt.
• Adjustable lumbar angle: Adjust the lumbar angle for individual posture needs. Adjustable -12º to +10º .
• Adjustable back support height: You only need one back support chassi. The back support height is adjustable between 46 - 62 cm (18 – 24½”) and by adding the back extension accessory you can get as high as 52 - 68 cm (20½ – 26¾”).
• Adjustable front and rear seat depth: Seat depth is adjustable from 39 - 51 cm (15½” – 20”). Using both rear and front adjustment facilitates finding an optimized balance point. Front adjustment 7 cm (2¾”). Rear adjust: 5 cm (2”).

• 3D back cushion: The 3D back cushion has three soft padded panels connected with slide fabric, shape and optimum support can be created in all directions, following the user´s back. The 3D back cushion is ideal for kyphosis and asymmetrical postures.
