FEATURES |
Independence Chair™ Manual | Independence Chair™ Electric | Independence Chair™ Plus |
| Leg Design Why is this important?
With a 5-leg star configuration, one leg is often interfering with foot propelling, which limits movement and can risk heel damage. A raised 4-leg configuration allows the user to move safely and easily with free foot motion. The 4-leg flared design features a welded steel frame that disperses weight evenly across the chair, ensuring the user is centered, stable, and safe.

| Wheel Castor Height Why is this important?
Higher castors and rubber wheels are of exceptional quality further ensuring the comfort, safety, and movement of the Independence Chair™.

| Seat Design Why is this important?
Waterfall-front seats curve down along the front edge, opening the area behind the knee for easier foot propelling. Standard seat designs can put pressure behind the knee and limit circulation to lower legs.

| Anterior Seat Why is this important?
A slight anterior tilt supports the posture needed to safely and comfortably propel the chair. This feature also opens up the diaphragm, allowing for better pulmonary function and proper organ alignment while preventing hyperextension of the neck.

6" Tilt | 6" Tilt | 10" Tilt |
| Wheel Locks Why is this important?
Wheel locks allow the user to keep the chair in place when exiting and entering the chair, preventing unsafe movement and migration of the chair. They also provide extra support for weight-bearing activities.
