Wheelchair backrests designed by Positech Innovation in Canada adapt to the specific needs of people with reduced mobility, for users with mild to severely deformed backs.

Wheelchair backrests play a crucial role in the comfort and quality of life of a wheelchair user.

Here you'll find out why it's important to have a good wheelchair backrest, and how it can improve your well-being and independence.

Wheelchair backrest : postural support 

Good postural support is essential to avoid postural problems and back pain. Positech wheelchair backrests are designed to provide adequate support for the user's spine and trunk.

Our soft backrests with stretchable canvas and adjustable tension allow the user's back to be well supported according to his or her needs. The ability to adjust tension can help reduce muscle tension, particularly in the lower back.

Wheelchair backrest : improving comfort

Our backrests help improve user comfort by evenly distributing pressure along the back. This helps reduce user fatigue and pressure points, which is crucial for wheelchair users who may spend long periods in a seated position.

Wheelchair backrest : pressure sore prevention

By providing adequate support, redistributing the user's weight and reducing pressure on certain areas of the body, our backrests help prevent pressure sores, which are skin lesions caused by prolonged pressure on a specific part of the body.

Wheelchair backrests : customization

Every wheelchair user has specific needs in terms of comfort and postural support. Positech Innovation offers a range of backrests, each with its own advantages.

As a result, each backrest can be customized in terms of cover (non-waterproof, Recovery5, etc.), foam (viscose) and custom sizes.

Important features of our wheelchair backrests 

1. Quality materials : the backrests are made from quality materials (polyurethane foam, viscose, etc.) to preserve their properties and quality over time.

2. Appropriate height and depth : The backrest must correspond to the size of the wheelchair and the user to ensure an optimum fit. We offer several standard sizes, but we also design a custom backrest to suit your needs.  

3. Care of your backrest : The backrest cover should be washed by hand or with a damp cloth, then left to air-dry. It should never be cleaned with a bag and should never be ironed.

Each Backus size can accommodate 2 wheelchair widths, for greater versatility. All our other components can be used in conjunction with the Backus, to keep pace with the patient's progress.

This backrest can eliminate the need for a molded backrest.

The Flexus wheelchair backrest

The Flexus backrest has been specially designed to provide optimum posture as the user's condition changes. Flexus is a rigidly structured backrest, with variable height, width, depth and angle of inclination.

Since Flexus can be adjusted over time, only one size is available. The backrest is composed of an aluminum frame and comfort foam. Flexus fits all tubular wheelchairs. All our other products can be added to the Flexus to make a complete system.

As a result, wheelchair backrests play a crucial role in the user's overall well-being and independence, providing postural support while enhancing comfort. It is very important that the backrest is well adapted to the user's specific needs to ensure an optimal experience.
