Overview
A rigid wheelchair back in four contours and three heights

Built for real life

What stands out

●
Four contours
The shell is formed to a 2.25", 3.65" or 6.0" lateral contour, so the back can hold the trunk lightly or firmly from the sides.
●
Three height levels
Low, Mid and Tall backs from 8" to 22", with 3.3" of height adjustment apart from the hardware.
●
Fits the chair
Two rows of mounting slots let each back fit a wheelchair up to 2" narrower or wider than the back.
●
Four hardware choices
DEX lifts off with release levers, BTX carries 400 lbs., FXT is fixed with a protective cover, and LWX is an ultralight fixed mount.
●
Breathable cover
High resiliency foam under a nylon and spandex cover with a waterproof membrane that lets air through.
●
Shell colors
Shadow Black is standard, and 20 gloss and matte colors cost nothing.
The Hieline Take

A rigid back like the Axiom replaces the sling upholstery on a wheelchair when the user needs the trunk held upright. Pick the contour by how much side support the user needs: the Posterior Back for a user who sits well and wants freedom to move, the Posterior Lateral or Lateral Back for moderate support, and the Deep Lateral for a user who needs firm support on both sides. Pick the height by where support should stop, below the shoulder blades for an active user or higher for a user who tires. Choose the width from the wheelchair's back frame, since each width fits a range of frames. DEX hardware lifts off for folding the chair, and BTX does the same at 400 lbs. A seating professional should set the back up on the chair, as Ki Mobility's manual advises.

Straight talk

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you

  • need the trunk held upright in the wheelchair
  • want to replace sling back upholstery with a rigid back
  • have a back frame from 11" to 24" wide, up to 300 lbs. or 400 lbs. with BTX

Look elsewhere if you

  • need a back molded to one body shape (see the Axiom Custom Back)
  • are over 400 lbs.
  • want to try it and send it back, because the back is built to order
