Krabat Sheriff is an active children’s
wheelchair for indoor and outdoor
use. The wheelchair accommodates
children in the age of approx 6 – 12
years. The wheelchair is lightweight
and the cambered wheels make it easy
to maneuver.
The sitting position is individually adjusted using height
and angle of seat, height of backrest, width of rear
wheels, position and different angles of the footrests.
The Krabat Sheriff has got a saddle seat, and the sitting
position is close to identical with the one of Krabat
Jockey. The use of this wheelchair should be determined
by your local physiotherapist or occupational therapist.
The Krabat Sheriff promotes a neutral position in the
hip and pelvic and abducts the hips. This together
with the wide support given by the footrests ensures
a wide base of support. The wheelchair promotes good
stability in the lower body and gives the spinal column
natural curves. This provides a good base for balance
and activity in the trunk and upper body. All together
it gives the child a close to ideal position for handling
the wheelchair.
The saddle seat enhances an active position rather than
a slumped and passive position. The upright and active
position also makes chest control and head control
easier, which again will benefit speech, swallowing
and respiration.
To ensure an optimal sitting position it is important to
try out and adjust the wheelchair before use.
Do not
use the wheelchair unless an individual trial has been
carried out. Furthermore, do not let other children use
the wheelchair without an individual trial.
As children grow they change their movement and
sitting pattern on a regular basis. It is likely that the
child will need another size of the sitting unit or other
adjustments. Contact your local physiotherapist or
occupational therapist if the product is not optimal or
if adjustments are needed.
The wheelchair is developed and tested to accommodate
the maximum weight of 60 kg.
