Aspire Rehab RX Wheelchair

From the manufacturer

**Check which generation you are quoting.** Our record is the Rehab RX; Aspire's current model is the **Rehab RX2**. The detail below is from the RX2 listing — confirm the specification against the exact chair on the quote before relying on it. **Tilt-in-space up to 35°.** Tilt is not recline, and the distinction is the reason to choose this chair. Tilting rotates the whole seat unit while holding the hip and knee angles fixed, so load shifts off the ischial tuberosities and sacrum without dragging skin across them. Reclining the backrest alone opens the hip angle and produces shear — which is the mechanism behind most sacral pressure injuries, not pressure alone. 35° is a meaningful figure. Significant offloading of the ischial tuberosities generally requires tilt beyond about 25–30°; chairs offering 15–20° provide postural variation but much less pressure redistribution. **Built for configuration, not just adjustment.** Seat width, seat depth, backrest height, armrest position and headrest placement all adjust. That matters because a complex-needs client rarely fits a fixed frame, and a chair that cannot be set to their measurements will cause the postural problems it was bought to solve. **Compatible with pressure care cushions** rather than committed to its own — so the cushion can be prescribed on its own merits and changed as skin status changes. Contoured cushions with multi-stretch covers. Multi-stretch matters: a cover that does not stretch with the user bridges across the cushion and defeats immersion, which is a common and easily missed cause of a good cushion underperforming. **Lightweight aluminium frame** to reduce carer effort during pushing and transport. Aspire ask for a **Referral Assessment Form** with any quote request and assign a product specialist — this is a prescribed chair, not an off-the-shelf one.
