Seating Dynamics is proud to announce that our Dynamic Rocker Back interface (DRBi) has been named a 2025 Mobility Management Product Award winner in the Mobility: Back, Dynamic Positioning Hardware for (E2398) category by Mobility Management.

Mobility Management interviewed Seating Dynamics' Greg Peek to share more about the Dynamic Rocker Back interface (DRBi) solution and thoughts on the future of the industry.

Here is an excerpt from that November 6, 2025 interview in Mobility Management.

MM: Tell us about the Dynamic Rocker Back interface, including a few top features and benefits. 

Peek: The Dynamic Rocker Back interface (DRBi) is installed between the seat rail and the back canes of a wheelchair and provides movement of the back to absorb and diffuse forces and assist the client back to upright. This movement can protect both the client from injury and the seating system and mobility base from breakage. This movement can also reduce active extension, maintain posture, and provide movement to reduce agitation, increase alertness, and provide sensory input. Movement can also facilitate functional activities. Finally, movement against resistance in a limited range can increase trunk and head control.

The Dynamic Rocker Back interface can be used on many different manual and power wheelchair frames, either retrofitted or at initial delivery. We deal with a unique niche population, and our philosophy is to solve problems with design, materials and workmanship at the highest level.

MM: In designing this product, what were your top goals? What were the priorities you were seeking to achieve?

Peek: I was approached by a clinician at a conference who asked if I had any products that could address the needs of clients who extended and/or moved with force, resulting in equipment damage and injury. So, I set out to design a Dynamic Back to address these needs.

MM: Who or what were the inspirations for your winning product’s functionality, features and design elements?

Peek: While the original intent was to address back cane breakage, it did not take long to realize that there are clinical and therapeutic benefits beyond anything imaginable. Breakage soon became a non-issue, and my main inspiration are the clients who use our Dynamic Seating products.

I continue to learn what is needed, how people benefit from this technology, and what changes can optimize this technology and its application.
