Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right seat width — 16", 18", or 20"?
Measure the user’s hip width at the widest point while seated, then add approximately 1" on each side for comfort. A user with 14" hips fits a 16" seat; 16" hips fit an 18" seat; 18" hips fit a 20" seat. A seat that is too wide causes the user to lean and makes self-propulsion more difficult; too narrow creates pressure on the hips and thighs. Note that the 20" seat has a higher weight capacity (350 lbs) compared to the 16" and 18" seats (300 lbs each). If you are unsure, consult an occupational therapist for a proper seating assessment.

What does K1/K2 classification mean?
K1 and K2 are HCPCS functional classification levels used to categorize manual wheelchairs. K1 indicates the user has the ability or potential to use a wheelchair for limited community mobility. K2 indicates the user has the ability or potential for limited community mobility with the ability to traverse some environmental barriers. This wheelchair’s dual axle design supports both K1 and K2 classifications, making it appropriate for a range of functional levels. HCPCS code K0002 applies to standard hemi-height wheelchairs — confirm the appropriate code with your clinician or DME supplier.

How do the removable desk arms work?
Desk arms are shorter than full-length arms, leaving a gap at the front of the armrest that allows the user to pull up closer to a desk, table, or counter without the armrest getting in the way. On this wheelchair, the desk arms are fully removable — they detach from the frame to allow a completely clear side transfer from a bed, toilet, or car seat without the armrest blocking the transfer path. To remove, lift the arm upward and out of the mounting bracket. Reattach by sliding the arm back into the bracket until it locks in place.

What is the dual axle design and why does it matter?
A dual axle wheelchair has two sets of rear wheel mounting positions on the frame — typically a higher and a lower position. This allows the seat-to-floor height to be adjusted by moving the rear wheels between axle positions, accommodating users of different heights or those who use their feet to assist with propulsion (hemi-height users). The seat-to-floor height on this chair adjusts from 17.5" to 19.5" depending on the axle position selected. This flexibility makes the chair suitable for a wider range of users without requiring a separate hemi-height model.
