The ProBasics Reclining Wheelchair, 18 x 16 Inches Seat is a durable and supportive mobility solution designed for users who require adjustable reclining comfort and enhanced positioning support during daily use. Sitting in a standard wheelchair for long periods can cause discomfort and inadequate head, neck, or leg support, especially for individuals recovering from surgery, managing mobility limitations, or needing extended seated care. This reclining manual wheelchair reclines from 90 to 160 degrees, helping users achieve a more comfortable and supportive seated position throughout the day. The removable padded desk-length arms simplify transfers, while the elevating padded legrests with pneumatic pistons provide adjustable lower-leg positioning support. A padded headrest extension with head immobilizer adds stability and comfort for the upper body. The chip-resistant silver vein steel frame, maintenance-free mag-style wheels, and anti-tippers provide dependable durability and added safety during reclining use. Comfortable padded nylon upholstery resists mildew and bacteria while remaining easy to clean.
