Setting Up Seat Depth
A common mistake accomodating growth on chairs such as the Arc that grow forward -
When the ATP specifies the depth configuration of a chair, they sometimes build in growth by
unnecessarily placing the client significantly forward of the back canes by extending back
mounting brackets or hardware. This practice puts the client weight forward in the chair
making it harder to tilt and turn the chair. The ATP should place the back of the seating system
as close to the back canes as possible and grow the chair forward (not move the seat back
rearwards) by extending the seat tubes when growth is required.
