Designed for tall users
The main advantage of the Rea Azalea Tall model is its adaptation to the needs of tall people. Compared to a standard model, it offers a greater seat depth, which helps to better support the thighs. This difference can be important for comfort, stability and correct pressure distribution.
The taller frame allows for longer footrests, and the longer chassis contributes to frontal stability. For tall users, these elements can make the difference between a generic wheelchair and one that fits their body correctly.
A Azalea Tall wheelchair It is recommended when the user needs a more natural position in the chair, with adequate support for the back, thighs and legs. The correct choice of dimensions should be made after careful evaluation.
Tilt and recline for positioning
Rea Azalea Tall is a passive tilt-in-space wheelchair. The tilt function allows for controlled body position changes without excessively changing the angles between the pelvis, trunk and lower limbs. This function is important for users who cannot independently transfer weight.
Tilting can help redistribute pressure and increase comfort during prolonged use. Reclining the backrest provides a more relaxed position when the user needs rest, additional support, or postural adjustment.
Through the combination of tilt, recline, and adjustable footrests, this model can support a more balanced and comfortable position for taller users.
DSS system - Dual Stability System
The Invacare Rea Azalea Tall includes the DSS – Dual Stability System. This system is designed to maintain the stability of the wheelchair during tilting and reclining. During adjustments, the center of gravity is managed more effectively, contributing to a safe and controlled positioning.
Stability is essential for a positioning wheelchair, especially when the user requires more reclined positions or frequent changes in posture. DSS offers greater safety for both the user and the caregiver.
Configuration and accessories
Rea Azalea Tall can be configured with the Flex 3 seating system, designed for adaptability and individual support. Depending on the user's needs, backrest, side supports, headrests, positioning cushions, belts, footrests, table or other useful accessories can be chosen.
The model can be available in a transit version, for propulsion by the attendant, or in a self-propelled version, depending on the user's mobility level. The accessories are compatible with the Azalea family, which allows for more flexible configuration.
This Azalea Tall wheelchair is suitable for users who need a customized solution, not a standard product. The correct configuration must take into account height, lower limb length, trunk posture, level of body control and actual mode of use.
