My Handy Net - LSA Helium Standing Wheelchair

Description

LSA HELIUM: A REALLY LIGHT STAND-UP WHEELCHAIR!
The LSA Helium is made for active, sporty people. The seat and backrest are pre-adjusted to the user�sweight and height � a perfect fit!

To stand-up, the user grasps the handles and reproduces the movement effected on the wheel rim for propulsion.
So you use the same muscles. This arm movement, helpedby the gas struts, allows you to stand with amazing ease!

Thanks to dual-component kneepads and an adjustable chestbelt, the standing position is comfortable and safe.

A STREAMLINED DESIGN
Curvy, harmonious and streamlined, the LSA Helium design emphasis lightness and functionality.
Each functionally optimal part will catch the eye.

EASY TO ADJUSTAnother innovation:
the LSA Helium offers adjustment of backrest slant both seated and standing withall possible variations:
backrest straight when seated, more open angle when standing, or vice versa �

FEEL-SAFE SYSTEM
The sliding lever or handle system with double locking in low position, rules out any involuntary engagement of the stand-up system during a transfer.
In high position a simple locking device in sequence with thestand-up movement enables great freedom of movement in complete safety.

POSITIONING AND COMFORT: AN ELABORATE KNEE SUPPORT Articulated to espouse knee movement during standing-up, the knee support fits on and swings awayin an instant.
The combination of dual-component reposition able foam pads on a carbon plate ensureshigh-quality comfort and customised positioning.
