TORRANCE, Calif., July 1, 2013—Convaid’s unique self-tensioning system has always been a part of their compact folding, lightweight wheelchairs. But due to its unique capabilities, Convaid decided it deserved to be branded with its own name: Self-TensioTM.
Self-Tensio provides therapeutic pelvic position similar to a solid seating system in an umbrella folding rehab chair. It is able to improve the body’s position resulting in increased comfort and independence. This seating system provides key support at the pelvis, providing a stable pelvic platform by distributing pressure throughout contact area and improving therapeutic pelvic support and positing, without the added weight and complexity. In conjunction with Convaid’s tension adjustable back, Self-Tensio encourages proper body positioning and alignment. It also minimizes Kyphotic posture and promotes neutral pelvic positioning. Some of the key design features of each lightweight wheelchair that include Self-Tensio are the expanding frame design, the flexible, self-adjusting upholstery and the underlying mesh support.
“Our unique self-tensioning system has always been in a class of its own,” said Convaid president Chris Braun. “We are excited to finally take this opportunity to truly share its benefits and features with the industry.” To learn more call 888-CONVAID or go to www.convaid.com.
