Fitform fairing backrest
Prices From: £POA including VAT
There are many circumstances in which it may be difficult to sit upright. For instance, as a result of decreased muscle strength or a back deformity. "Crooked pockets" are a common symptom in people with Parkinson's disease or a CVA (stroke). An alternative name for this is "trunk balance problem."
The human body experiences extreme stress when sitting incorrectly. Long-term scoliosis sufferers may experience shortened back muscles on one side. This causes complaints of pain and additional strain on the spine, which can result in even more back complaints or radiating pain down a leg.
The solution
A bucket backrest can provide a solution in cases where the trunk balance issue is constrained. This personalised backrest is shaped like a tub (like a car seat), giving you more side support.
For even better positioning, a variation is also available with a high tub (+ 13 cm higher).
The best option is an ILP backrest or ILP Extra when there are significant issues with trunk balance.
The result
Better trunk stability and slumping are achieved with the help of an ergonomic stand-up armchair with a shell backrest. All of this contributes to more relaxed and comfortable sitting. The user can unwind and get a good night's sleep, which will help them recharge for their daily tasks.

I've just taken delivery of my first power chair. From the very beginning I was very impressed with the staff in the Waterlooville Showroom. Joe and his team made sure that I was well looked after and supportive throughout the research and purchasing phase. He answered questions clearly and was an excellent communicator. He took the time to show me the equipment, more than once, all with patience. The showroom is bright and the team are welcoming. We did a lot of research before settling on my chair and through the whole process Joe, could not have been anymore helpful. I was always welcomed on my arrival and given time to collect my thoughts. The chair I selected was bought at what I would consider to be a very fair price. In conclusion I fully recommend Cavendish Healthcare to you as a trustworthy company with excellent products, all at great prices.
