Axial Medial Thigh Support
The Spex medial thigh support block is a wedge shape that can be attached to the front of the wheelchair seat.
It should be used to keep the user’s legs in the correct position to maintain a neutral pelvis. It doesn't just swing-down, it can then pull off the mount to allow an unobstructed transfer.
Provides a comfortable yet firm knee and medial thigh support through a soft padding and removable washable cover.
