TENSION ADJUSTABLE BACK
The TAB is a basic tension adjustable back support made up of individually adjustable webbing straps. These can be used to contour the back rest to support users with mild asymmetrical spinal deviations and functions effectively when paired with a set of LATS trunk side supports. The back system should always be used in conjunction with a good positioning cushion to provide optimal postural support.
Together with the LATS the TAB fits on either the SullyActive or SamActive seating systems, as well as a wide range of other wheelchairs, both manual and motorised.

Features
Adjustable Back Straps
The TAB is available in 3 different heights, which are made up of adjustable hook&loop straps for contouring the surface.
Back Contouring
Custom back contours can be created by individually adjusting the lengths of the webbing straps. The lower straps can be tightened to provide support in the lumbar area of the spine and the upper straps can be lengthened to accommodate the curvature of the thoracic spine.
Trunk Side Support
The TAB is ideally paired with a set of adjustable LATS trunk side supports.
Cover
A removable padded cover conceals the straps and also offers a surface onto which further build-ups can be made.
