Why Headrest Footrest and Seat Height Adjustment Matter in a Power Wheelchair
Headrest, footrest, and seat height adjustment matter because a power wheelchair must fit the user’s body and everyday environment, not simply provide electric driving. A correctly positioned headrest can improve support during longer periods of sitting. Adjustable footrests help support the legs and pelvis while improving transfer flexibility. Seat height adjustment can influence functional reach, visibility, transfers, table access, and overall positioning.
