Tilt and recline
K
arma Mobility’s VIP2 515 offers a combination of tilt-in space and reclining positions. The manual wheelchair features a 35-degree tilt and comes with either a backrest with fixed recline positions from -5-degrees to 15-degrees or an adjustable reclining back of 30-degrees. The pivot point of the chair is located close to the user’s hip joint, which synchronises with the motion of the body and the chair, reducing the sensation of sliding when reclining. The VIP2 comes with an adjustable headrest with a greater range of position options. Other features include a deeper seat for taller users, removable armrests, a tension adjustable backrest and the option to fit a rigid backrest for greater trunk support and comfort. Once folded down it will fit in the boot of most standard family sized cars.
