Configura Bariatric Chair, Tilt-In-Space 16"

The Configura Bariatric electric riser recliner chair brings Configura technology to bariatric seating. The bariatric chair offers adjustability of size, pressure and postural supports appropriate for a wide range of users. This model of the chair has independent leg-rest, independent backrest motors and independent tilt in space motors.

Tilt-in-space improves pelvic stability and posture, pressure distribution, circulation, makes hoisting easier and reduces the tendency to slip forward in the chair.
By maintaining the same angle at the hips (i.e. the same angle between backrest and seat base), and tilting the entire chair back, the user can achieve a relaxed position whilst maintaining pelvic stability.
Maintaining the position of the pelvis promotes good sitting and reduces the user's susceptibility to developing poor posture.
As more weight is transferred through the trunk and less through the base, a larger seating footprint is achieved and pressure is distributed over a wider area. This reduces the risk of pressure sores in the sensitive sacral and ischial tuberosity areas.
The ability to have the user's ankles higher than the hips can also aid circulation and reduce fluid build-up in the legs.
When hoisting, Tilt-in-Space enables gravity to assist in correct positioning of the user's pelvis at the back of the chair.
The independent legrest enables tilt to be used whilst lowering the legs. Suitable for users with reduced knee flexion or shortened hamstrings.
