Brian,
That's my problem, I am blessed with Lng legs and in order to
fit this chair they had to position the seat back in a bucket style.
Foot rests are as low as they can go, can't get a taller chair because
of my van (no topper on it). If the seat

Believe me I know all about the weight thing. I don't use it that often maybe twice a week, when I'm hurting or going out for a big shopping trip. I do exercises everyday now to keep in shape, I don't want to lose my strength for transfers etc either. Having this chair makes my life so

Thank you! I'vehad that one since my accident and the velcro is
only just starting to go on it which is pretty good! I use it for
basketball as well
A good wheelchair place should be able to get
after-market pads or make them. The place I used CARE, I hated the office
people, but the repair guys always did good jobs at getting my chairs to fit
right. They made brackets and pads to get my seating and switches just
right.

Hi
Bongi or velcro straps will leave marks on legs or thighs if legs
are too far apart.

Hi everyone,
I'm really enjoying my power chair but I have a problem. My seating
position is less than lady-like ie: my knees are as far apart as
possible in the sitting position. The chair fits me well, but there
aren't any side guards like in my manual chair. I think these guards

For openers, (quad comedy) have you considered a Velcro strap? Applied at
the knees or just above the knees with decorative covering.
Also I would contact the chair provider to see if there are calf curbs. But
you always have to consider the end result from anything rubbing against your
legs
If your knees are splayed in that fashion, as are
mine, you should consider, again, if your chair is
REALLY fitted properly, the entire length of your
thigh should be taking pressure. do your legs
move in and out freely? If so, you may need to
lower your foot rest or raise your seat pan so
an NOT sit on them right. I got a "Varilite" cushion 2 months ago. If I don't get back far enough on IT ... my knees spread.
All abt positioning for me.

Good Answer. And it just might be the right answer... but not the best
answer.
If you lower the leg rest too much, you may never be abled to cross door
thrushold without tipping forewards. It has to be a perfect match. Lower the
legrest too much and you may have problems. Raise the legrest

Use the Velcro with liners that hide the strap with colorful designs. Who

maybe just wear decorator panties that read, "what are YOU looking
at?" then see who gets a red face. i have that problem but i wear
long pants so i don't care. maybe a scoop top would fix the problem?

Will I wear long skirts because I had a problem with wearing panties. They were to close to my cath and made me bleed. So now as they say in the Army. I'm going commando.
