WARNING: All Ride Designs support surfaces are designed to help reduce the

Installation and Use Instructions
It is recommended that a therapist or authorized Ride Designs supplier conduct the
initial fitting of your back support. Your Ride Corbac is designed to enhance core
trunk stability by providing posterior and lateral support to the lower trunk, lumbar
spine, and pelvis (ie, the core). The Corbac Adjustable Mount uses straps to
achieve the initial support for balance and alignment. The thoraco-lumbar-pelvic
(TLP) supports provide additional posterior-lateral support and the Corbac’s spacer
mesh overlay provides a lightweight cushioning support to facilitate moisture
vapor transport while reducing shear.
The Ride Corbac is designed to work in conjunction with existing sling back
upholstery. The Corbac consists of three components: 1) the adjustable mount,
2) two thoraco-lumbar-pelvic (TLP) supports, and 3) the spacer mesh overlay.
Install, evaluate, and adjust your Corbac
1. Leave existing sling back upholstery in place on wheelchair.
2. Install the Corbac adjustable mount.
a. Remove the Corbac adjustable mount from the cardboard packaging.
