Can't find a certain coutoured back? Help!

Clayton8 · 03-15-2007, 12:19 PM

Hey,
I'm in the process of getting a new manual chair. I'm getting basically the same exact chair I have right now, but just a little bigger. I have a TiLite ZRA.

I really want a contoured back instead of the traditional Jay adjustable back. I just don't want one that is really "blocky" and heavy. I remember seeing one either on here or maybe Wheelchair Junkie that was a brand new model. A little less than a year ago. It is one that helps your posture by pushing your chest out correcting the "slumped over" posture.

I remember someone posting Ti-Lite finally made it available where they will put it on and install it at their plant when they are making the chair. Normally you would have to order it and put it on yourself. Anybody know what back I am talking about?

Also...what are some good contour backs out there? I just want one that helps out my posture, but isn't really heavy and thick. Any suggestions? I've searched the whole Equipment page and can't find very many!

Was it the Roho Jetstream Pro back? Those are lightweight and not thick at all, yet has improved posture on many people. BrokenWing has one and loves it...that may be the one you were talking about.

I have an Acta-Back which you can adjust for more or less "push" for your chest.

I must have been on drugs because I just went through almost every page from the past year on the sites and can't find it. I don't think it was any of those backs. It looked similar to an adjustable back, except the tubing was already bent so the back is coutoured. I'm still on the hunt. An adjustable back is fine fo rme, I just wanted to try out a contoured one. I just don't like how bulky all the coutoured ones are.
