Feature Tour
Back Shell Design
  • Anthropometric data was used to understand how torso shape changes as height and width change to create the best possible fit from the fewest number of shapes. Axiom Backs are designed with a lightweight aluminum shell that is formed into your choice of 4 different contour shapes and 3 levels of height support options, providing optimal trunk stability and a personalized fit. Our bend forming process produces a back shell that is stiffer and stronger than those produced with typical roll forming.
  • Dual mounting slots for mounting hardware offer varied and versatile hardware placement designed to accommodate a wider range of back to wheelchair size integration. Hardware options that offer up to 2” of width difference between the back and the wheelchair are available.
  • Back height is adjustable independently of mounting hardware height placement offering a greater degree of placement and fitting options on the wheelchair back.
Posterior Back
Formed to offer a 2.25” lateral profile (curve) with an included adjustable lumbar pad, providing posterior back shape to position the lumbar spine. The Posterior Back (PB) allows for freedom of movement for daily activities while providing stabile and secure torso positioning.
Posterior Backs are available in Low and Mid height support levels.
Posterior Lateral Back
Formed to offer a 3.65” lateral profile (curve) with an included adjustable lumbar pad, providing posterior back shape to position the lumbar spine. The Posterior Lateral Back (PL) provides additional lateral positioning support for those in need of a moderate positioning back.
Posterior Lateral Backs are available in Low, Mid and Tall height support levels.
Deep Lateral
6.0” of lateral profile (curve), offers the highest amount of shaped lateral contour in the Axiom Back lineup. The Deep Lateral Back (DL) provides maximum lateral positioning support with a more open profile for a more neutral spine position.
Deep Lateral Backs are available in Mid and Tall height support levels.
LATERAL BACK
Formed to offer the same 3.65” of lateral profile (curve), but without a lumbar pad, leaving the center of the back shell more planar. The Lateral Back (LB) provides moderate lateral positioning support with a more open profile for a more neutral spine position.
Lateral Backs are available in Low, Mid and Tall height support levels.
Market Leading Versatility
Because the back should fit the rider and the chair. The new shell design and versatility of the Axiom hardware solutions make it possible and easy to adjust the back to fit +/-2” from chair width. This means you can customize each setup for optimal outcomes and a personalized fit that supports every unique body type.
Tested Tough to go the Distance
We took a Tested Tough approach to our design to ensure our hardware is reliable, easy-to-use, and strong enough to withstand the stress of rigorous use. Axiom hardware won’t slip and does not require frequent re-adjustment. Through extensive testing against the competitors, we can confidently say ours holds tough when others don’t.
Premium Construction
With the quality you expect from Axiom - Axiom Backs continues to provide the perfect balance of durability and comfort. Built with quality, high resiliency foam, supple, yet durable Nylon-Spandex blend fabric, and a waterproof elastic monolithic membrane layer which promotes airflow, breathability, and overall comfort. The back shells are created using an innovative and market-leading Fulcrum bending technique which results in a finished shape that optimizes contact and form with the body while enhancing rigidity.
