Spex Classic Surface Back Support

Easily solve upper torso positioning needs for most wheelchair users with the Spex Classic Surface Back Support. The Surface Back Support incorporates the classic Spex contouring cube system to allow on-the-spot customisations for torso comfort and asymmetry needs, whilst also providing greater stability for the user's upper body and lower trunk.

Greater stability in the trunk can allow for improved head and neck movements, and greater contact surface can aid with pressure distribution for comfort. The contouring and immersion ensures that individual body shape and comfort needs are easily responded to with the Surface Back Support.

The Surface provides superior upper back, shoulder, and pelvic support, and is especially useful in situations where the user requires tilt-in-space and their upper body, shoulders, and lower trunk will have more contact with the contact surface of the back support.

Superior upper back and shoulder support
Enhanced lower trunk and pelvic support
Effortless customisations
On-the-spot adaptions for changing postural needs
Instant results
Cubes can be removed and added at any time
Contouring doesn't move or slip out of adjustment
Additional contouring support wedges can be used to further enhance the degree of contouring for individual body shapes

While the standard Classic Back Support style with its rectangle shape fits between the wheelchair canes, the Surface sits in front of the wheelchair canes due to the additional shoulder support components. This will inhibit the recline adjustment that is available in most Spex back support hardware.

For Mild Bony Prominences	For Immersion	For Asymmetry

Without even adjusting the cube system, the Spex back support has slight contouring and integrates a comfortable pressure reducing foam surface layer to absorb mild bony prominences and asymmetries for uniform torso contact.	For individuals that require immersion into the back support, simply adjust the cube contouring cell system to configure for a perfect fit and shape for the user's back.	For asymmetrical or maladaptive postures, the contour can be arranged to provide the matching shape required to support the user's torso profile.
