Pediatric and Adult Design
The Kanga Tilt-in-Space Adult Wheelchair and Kanga Tilt-in-Space Pediatric Wheelchair both feature a 45º tilt. The adjustable tilt angle shifts the weight of users, which alters how much pressure is applied to the body. Additionally, the slight tilt reorients the patient's body in space to assist with postural support. Leaning users backward prevents them from falling forward or sliding out of their chairs.
