Postural wheelchair for daily mobility and comfort

The Action 3 NG RC Matrx is suitable for people who need a manual wheelchair but are looking for more than a standard mobility solution. This postural wheelchair offers a useful combination of a foldable frame, torso support, resting position and increased maneuverability indoors.

The 6-wheel construction helps distribute weight better and achieve a smaller turning radius than a classic 4-wheel wheelchair. This is important in homes, offices, recovery centers, elevators or other spaces where easy maneuverability is important.

Postural wheelchair with Rocking Chair system and 25° tilt

One of the most important advantages of the Action 3 NG RC Matrx model is the Rocking Chair system. This allows the seat to be mechanically tilted up to 25°, providing the user with an accessible resting position throughout the day. The tilt helps to alternate pressure points and can contribute to increased comfort when the user spends more time in the chair.

The tilt function can be operated by the user or an accompanying person, depending on the level of mobility and the chosen configuration. The system can be locked with stops, which allows for position control and increased safety in use.

Thanks to the central position of the drive wheels, access to the drive rings is better and the position of the upper limbs can become more natural. For a user who can actively participate in the movement, this detail can make the difference between a chair that is difficult to control and one that is postural wheelchair easier to handle.

Matrx backrest for postural support and positioning

The RC Matrx version comes standard with the Matrx Elite positioning backrest, with a contour depth of 80 mm, or the Matrx Elite Deep, with a contour depth of 160 mm. These variants are useful for users who need better trunk support and a more stable sitting position.

Depending on the user's needs, the product can be configured with different seat cushions, such as Classic Visco, Matrx Vi, Libra or other compatible options. The correct choice of cushion and backrest is important for comfort, pressure relief and postural stability.

This postural wheelchair is a suitable solution for people who need a more controlled position, but who do not necessarily want a very bulky passive wheelchair. The foldable frame and compatibility with the Action range make it more practical for transport, storage and daily use.
