FAQ's
Are lateral supports adjustable to suit individual users?
Yes, lateral supports are highly adjustable. Width, depth, height, and angle can all be configured to achieve precise trunk positioning. This flexibility allows clinicians to tailor the set-up to each user’s posture, providing targeted support for stability, alignment, and comfort.
What postural needs are lateral supports suitable for?
Lateral supports are designed for users who require additional trunk stability and alignment. They are particularly beneficial for individuals with scoliosis, asymmetrical trunk positioning, low trunk tone, or evolving postural needs where consistent side support is required.
Can lateral supports be moved for transfers?
Yes, swing-away and quick-release hardware options allow the lateral supports to be repositioned or removed when needed. This helps create space for safer transfers, while still providing secure trunk support during everyday use.

Description
Lateral Trunk Support
Lateral supports provide essential trunk positioning for wheelchair users requiring additional stability and alignment.
With adjustments in width, depth, height, and angle, they enable precise set-up to optimise posture, balance, and functional comfort.
Multi-angular positioning allows the supports to accommodate complex body shapes and postures, maintaining consistent trunk contact where needed. This makes them suitable for users with asymmetry or evolving postural requirements.
The hardware is lightweight yet durable, featuring reversible brackets with dual length options and slotted adjustment points for straightforward installation and fine-tuning.
Quick-release and swing-away options allow the supports to be moved or removed easily, supporting safe transfers and flexibility in use.
A wide choice of pad shapes, sizes, and cover materials ensures an appropriate fit for each individual. Selecting the correct pad contour and pressure-relieving properties is important to help reduce the risk of skin breakdown, particularly around bony prominences.
Available back-mounted (seating shell) or cane-mounted (wheelchair uprights) configurations. The back assembly is engineered for compatibility with a wide range of third-party accessories, facilitating continuity of care.
By combining targeted adjustability with supportive stability, lateral trunk supports enhance posture and enable greater comfort and participation in daily activities.
