Seating Dynamics is an industry leader in creating innovative components for wheelchairs that enhance movement. Our products use the most advanced technology to add movement, durability and functionality to most wheelchairs.
Seating Dynamics champions the emerging truth that movement within a wheelchair seating system can improve quality of health and life.
What is Dynamic Seating?
Dynamic Seating allows coordinated movement within a wheelchair. When the client moves, the dynamic seating components move with the client, maintaining alignment with the seating system for postural support and stability. Dynamic Rocker Backs, Dynamic Footrests, and Dynamic Head Support Hardware can be used individually, or in combination to meet a variety of needs including tone management, pain and injury reduction, improved function and more.
Who Benefits from Dynamic Seating?
If the client is pushing with force against the seating system, possibly resulting in injury, equipment damage, and loss of posture, Dynamic Seating diffuses forces, allowing movement without loss of alignment. If the client is seeking out movement, Dynamic Seating moves in response to client movement, often decreasing agitation and increasing alertness.

In Their Words
Joe McKnight
“Now, in my 60’s, as a retired RN, ATP/SMS, and Paramedic, with a few hundred chairs dispensed, I’m lucky to work with Greg, his team and Michelle for some years. We started in the Kids Up days and understood that movement was a vital, noble and normal component of humanity. In a word, don’t discount movement.”

“Whole body extensor tone, movement disorders, and rocking movements are frequent and often increased when the client is placed in a static seating system in a wheelchair.”

“Dynamic backs are essential to accommodate people with severe tone and spasticity. They are also essential to accommodate people with severe cognitive and behavioral issues who tend to rock / thrash themselves against their backrest.”
