HOW TO FIT THE JAY FOCUS POINT BACK
The Jay Focus Point Back is a versatile back designed to replace the sling upholstery.
When properly utilized the back should:
•
Offer you thoracics support and comfort
•
Promote trunk alignment and lateral stability
•
When used as a replacement for your existing sling upholstery, offer moderate
shear reduction.
•
Maximum user weight: 250 lbs. (113 kg.)
CAUTION–
Installing a back support on a wheelchair may affect the center of grav-
ity of the wheelchair and may cause the wheelchair to tip backwards
potentially resulting in injury. Always assess for the potential need for
anti-tippers or amputee axle adapter brackets to be added to the wheel-
chair to help increase stability.
Verifying Back Size
Measure your wheelchair post width from the outside of one post to the outside
of the other post. Verify that you have the proper width Jay Focus Point Back
for your chair. Begin by removing armrests and any upholstery from your wheel-
chair’s upright posts. Place whatever cushion you plan to use into your wheel-
chair (preferably a Jay
®
J2 Recline or Jay
®
J2 Deep Contour Cushion).
