If comfortable and correct seating is essential for the physical and mental well being of patients living in wheelchairs, then those who have a spinal curvature, or kyphosis, will always require much more accommodation than the rigid structure of a standard wheelchair back offers. A standard chair forces a patient with kyphosis to sit in an uncomfortable, non-functional position with vital organs compressed and head bent forward and down.

To date the only solution has been expensive custom built seating, but now BXL offers two innovative, inexpensive, off-the-shelf alternatives. Ingenious design and solid construction with easy maintenace and installation make the K-Special Back and the Key-Hole Back ideal choices for those living with kyphosis.

These chair backs will allow patients to enjoy good positioning, which includes their shoulders realigned over their hips, their pelvis moved to the back of the chair, and their head raised up to see the world.

Try our K-Special or Key-Hole Back with your next patient with kyphosis and for less than half the cost of a custom molded back you can greatly improve their comfort, support and quality of life. Our wheelchair backs have a 98% satisfaction rating and they are 100% satisfaction guaranteed. If you are unsure which BXL back to order, call us at 1-800-267-3865.
