Lateral Supports
Lateral supports, also known as lateral trunk supports, are designed to provide additional midline stability and improve posture for wheelchair users. These supports help keep the torso properly aligned, reducing the tendency to lean or collapse to one side. By maintaining a balanced sitting position, lateral supports for wheelchairs contribute to increased comfort, function, and overall safety during daily mobility.
At Aracent Healthcare, our lateral supports are part of the Invacare® Matrx seating line, known for its quality and precise anatomical design. They are available in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different levels of trunk control and positioning needs. Whether planar or contoured, the supports are crafted for optimal contact with the body, ensuring secure positioning without restricting movement.
In addition to improving posture and balance, lateral supports help prevent pressure-related discomfort and reduce the need for frequent repositioning throughout the day. These positioning accessories are ideal for users who experience reduced trunk control or asymmetrical sitting posture. When combined with cushions and backrests, they provide a comprehensive solution for comfort, alignment, and stability.
To further enhance functionality, Aracent also offers compatible backrest accessories, allowing users and clinicians to create fully customized seating configurations that match individual mobility and postural needs.
