Important Information
The Custom-Made Intermediate Wheelchair is a specialised assistive mobility device requiring professional assessment, accurate body measurements, fabrication, and fitting by a qualified rehabilitation specialist.
The seating dimensions, headrest, lateral supports, positioning harness, footrests, and frame specifications are customised according to the user’s individual needs.
The wheelchair should be used according to the prescribed positioning and mobility recommendations. The extended front wheel structure must be assessed for stability, turning clearance, and suitability for the intended environment.
Positioning straps must be fitted correctly and should not be used as restraints. Caregiver supervision and regular follow-up are recommended, particularly for children whose body measurements and postural requirements change with growth.
