These features make it suitable for users who need a better level of comfort, support and adjustment than a standard wheelchair.<\/p>\n Contents:<\/strong><\/p>\n Ottobock Start M2 Flex Strong is a configurable manual wheelchair<\/strong> Suitable for users who need a more adaptable product than a standard wheelchair. The model offers important adjustments for size, positioning, comfort and daily use.<\/p>\n For information about the product in the MSN Life Services store, you can consult the page Wheelchair Start M2 Flex Strong<\/a>. For comparison with other products, you can also see the category wheelchairs<\/a> or category of standard wheelchairs<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Start M2 Flex Strong is a more equipped version, designed for users who need additional comfort and adjustments. Compared to the Flex Prop version, the Flex Strong model includes height-adjustable armrests and the Economy Ergo 5-Fold backrest system.<\/p>\n These features are important for a configurable manual wheelchair<\/strong>, as they allow for the adjustment of the armrests and back support. A correct position of the armrests can contribute to shoulder comfort, and an adjustable backrest can help provide better support for the torso.<\/p>\n The model is suitable for users who need a foldable manual wheelchair, but do not want a simple product with a fixed configuration. Flex Strong offers several possibilities for adaptation and can be configured according to the user, the environment of use and the level of mobility.<\/p>\n A major advantage of the Ottobock Start M2 Flex Strong model is the high level of configurability. The seat width can be chosen in several variations: 38 cm, 40.5 cm, 43 cm, 45.5 cm, 48 cm or 50.5 cm. This range allows the wheelchair to be adapted to the actual dimensions of the user.<\/p>\n The seat depth can be configured between 40.5 cm and 50.5 cm. The correct depth helps support the thighs, position the pelvis, and maintain a more stable posture during daily use.<\/p>\n The front seat height can be adjusted between 45 cm and 51 cm in 1 cm increments. This adjustment is important for transfer, manual propulsion, leg position and compatibility with the environment of use, such as bed, table, desk or vehicle.<\/p>\n The Start M2 Flex Strong has a transverse folding mechanism, designed for reliability and practical use. For users and caregivers, a folding wheelchair is useful when the product needs to be stored, transported in a car or maneuvered in smaller spaces.<\/p>\n The total weight of approximately 15 kg is suitable for a configurable manual wheelchair<\/strong> with multiple adjustments and a maximum capacity of 130 kg. The weight without the rear wheels is approximately 13 kg, which can help in certain transport situations.<\/p>\n The model is recommended for homes, medical centers, clinics, rehabilitation centers and accessible spaces. Before purchasing, the overall width, maneuvering space, doors, hallways, elevator and how the chair will be transported should be checked.<\/p>\n The Economy Ergo 5-Fold system is one of the important features of the Flex Strong variant. This type of backrest can contribute to better support and a more comfortable position, especially for users who spend more time in the wheelchair.<\/p>\n The backrest height can be configured in 40 cm, 42.5 cm, 45 cm or 47.5 cm variants. The correct choice depends on the level of support required for the trunk, the user's activity and the way in which they propel themselves or are assisted.<\/p>\n The backrest angle can be optionally adjusted between 0\u00b0 and 30\u00b0. This function can be useful for adjusting the sitting position and achieving better comfort. For users who spend many hours a day in the chair, we also recommend choosing a suitable cushion for comfort and pressure distribution.<\/p>\n For complementary products, you can consult the category anti-bedsore pillows<\/a> or category of comfort wheelchairs<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Ottobock Start M2 Flex Strong is compatible with a wide range of components and accessories. Depending on the configuration, electric mobility assistance, elevating footrests, amputation supports, height-adjustable push handles, transport wheels, a stabilizing bar or a modification for wider legroom can be considered.<\/p>\n This flexibility is important because a configurable manual wheelchair<\/strong> should fit the user, not the other way around. A self-propelled user may need different adjustments than someone who is pushed by a caregiver. Similarly, a user who makes frequent transfers may need carefully configured armrests, footrests, and seat height.<\/p>\n In the MSN Life Services store you can compare this model with Wheelchair Start M2 Flex Prop<\/a>, Wheelchair START M2<\/a> or Wheelchair Start M2S<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
