Correct configuration for a lightweight titanium wheelchair

Choosing a lightweight titanium wheelchair should not be done based on weight alone. For a correct result, body dimensions, pelvic position, trunk control, upper limb strength, transfer method, environment of use and need for transportation must be analyzed.

A more active center of gravity can improve propulsion efficiency, but requires better control. A backrest that is too high can limit freedom of movement, and one that is too low may not provide enough support. Therefore, a made-to-measure wheelchair must be carefully configured, not just ordered from a technical sheet.
