1PRODUCT INFORMATION
LB is a manual tilting wheelchair that features a patented folding system that combines the
advantages of a rigid frame to the comfort of the folding one. The unique structure with
independent modules, resulting from a deep study that finds its origins in the aviation industry,
it makes it a versatile tool for defining a good posture. It is in fact possible to move the backrest
angle and modules, the seat and armrest, by sliding them on the prepared guides, offering the
possibility of making asymmetrical arrangements. These adjustments are performed directly on
the chassis so as to make semi-permanent positions. With LB is not only the postural system
that adapts to the shape of the body but the frame itself can adapt to the anthropometric
measurements of the user, in order to guarantee always the best positioning, while maintaining
a compact size of the frame. Integrated perfectly with the postural Buddy Brace systems, it is
able to offer endless positioning solutions.
