Seating

Wheelchair Seating and Postural Positioning

Seating positioning is a crucial part of selecting a wheelchair, both for comfort and support. The key to stability is a neutral pelvic position. This needs to be taken into account when fitting the seat positioning of a wheelchair. In a sitting position, the natural curves of the back and neck should be supported; and the shoulders, pelvis and knees should ideally be level. This does however depend on the individual needs of the user, and whether they have postural control – the ability to control their body position. The seat position also needs to sit over the wheelchair’s centre of gravity – just in front of the wheelchair’s rear wheels.

Trade-In Scheme

If you have an old or unused wheelchair, we can help with our trade-in scheme. This is all a part of our service to you; helping you save money, and making your life easier. Where we’re not able to resell wheelchairs, we will ensure that the key components including batteries are recycled, in a push to help mitigate our environmental impact.

Advice & Assessments

Healthcare Advice

If you think you could benefit from a wheelchair all or most of the time, ask a GP, physiotherapist or occupational therapist to refer you to your local wheelchair service for an assessment. They’ll advise if you need a wheelchair and if so, what type. It is always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional to assist in the decision making process.

There are a number of factors to consider including your body type, skin condition, posture and strength. If you have a health condition that is likely to progress with time, it’s a good idea to take account of your possible future needs when choosing a wheelchair, too.

Sync Living has a team of wheelchair and seating specialists who work with healthcare professionals such as OTs, to provide assessments and technical support. If you are interested, you can read what is involved in a powered wheelchair assessment here.
