ABSTRACT:
The modular orthopaedic insert of the present invention is designed to fit standard and recliner manual styles plus most powered wheelchairs. The insert can be fitted with little or no modification to the wheelchair. This allows easy transport of the insert and quick removal from the wheelchair which must be folded for vehicle transportation. The seat base and back are detachable because of the use of the current hinge design which allows customization of the insert according to the requirements of a user. For example, seats of varying widths and depths can be fitted to a standard backrest. Similarly, wider and narrower as well as longer and shorter backrests can be fitted to a standard seat base. The system is versatile and readily adjustable without the use of special tools and require a minimum of seating and/or mechanical skills to fit the system to the user and/or to the wheelchair of the user.
