Adjusting the seat height
The seat height can easily be adjusted.
You can also change the angle of the
seat by having different heights at the
front and back. By changing the angle of
the seat, you can achieve better stability
and seating comfort. The different seat
height adjustments also effect the ability to
negotiate obstacles and rolling properties
of the wheelchair.
