multiply adjustable seating system including adjustable
legrests, armrests, a headrest or other options. These
adjustment options are described in the following
chapters. They are used to adapt the seat to the
physical requirements and the condition of the user.
When adapting the seating system and the seat
functions to the user, ensure that no mobility device
components collide.
Initial setup should always be done by a healthcare
professional. Adjustment by the user is only recommended
