Re: [QUAD-L] Chair back preferences

[B. Kimberlin \(Quadius\)]

Definitely agree here.  I let myself sit in a poor position, due to some problems with my Peachtree, about seven years ago and it led to my spine slightly curving.  Since then I have not been able to go without a right lateral up all the time.  Additionally, I do have a lot of right shoulder pain.
Being positioned properly is the key to almost everything I do.

Some learn quickly, while others learn in time that seat and positioning is everything when using a wheelchair is not an option, but a necessity.  Poor positioning can produce further discomfort and injury.  A positioning evaluation takes longer, but is worth the effort.  Ask anyone who has had one.

I had an Everest and Jennings power wheelchair from 74-03, and I always had back neck and shoulder pain and I felt hunched over plus needing to be pulled up in my care, all the time, which I don't experience in my Permobile.  I seemed to fall over and much more, not staying straight.  I still have a world that is a problem because of my broken left leg.  That was not repaired because of osteoporosis and the hip disintegrated causing me to lean to the left.
