Years of research has highlighted the sedentary complications that come to individuals with prolonged wheelchair use; including pressure area development and reduced tolerance to be in the wheelchair due to pain and postural abnormalities.

The ability to change the end-users position in a manual wheelchair using tilt in space technology to improve posture (20degree tilt) and offload pressure (45degree tilt) is not a new concept; however, therapists now have a range of model options available on the market to select the product for prescription based on the features and end-user benefits; instead of defaulting to the familiar. Dynamic wheelchair seating has taken on many forms in recent years, giving end users endless opportunities for movement within their manual wheelchairs to optimise function and reduce complications from sedentary seating. There are dynamic wheelchair components designed to absorb and diffuse force, protecting both the end-user and the wheelchair seat and frame from damage.
