Jozie Rocks | Finding the Right Resistance for a Dynamic Rocker Back
These videos show how important it is to have a variety of elastomers on when installing a Dynamic Rocker Back. Different resistances are needed by different clients or dynamic seating won’t work as intended.
Hip Extension & Loss of Position in Wheelchair
This young man extends with significant force at his hips, causing him to elevate his pelvis off of the cushion. When he relaxes, his pelvis lands on the cushion in a posterior pelvic tilt.
Ashley: Dynamic Seating, Dystonia & Equipment Breakage
Ashley exhibits large and forceful movements (dystonia) which have led to injury to her legs and damage to the wheelchair. Dynamic Seating, at the head, back and legs, allows her to move easily and safely.

Darcy Rocks: Side by Side View of Before & After Dynamic Rocker Back
Before receiving a new tilt-in-space wheelchair with Dynamic Rocker Back, Darcy’s movement was met with resistance causing many wheelchair breaks, reduced seating tolerance and unsafe “walking of his chair” across the room.
Carl: A Side by Side View of Before and After Dynamic Back Installation
Before receiving a Dynamic Back, Carl was actually standing up in his power wheelchair due to unrelieved extensor tone. After receiving a Dynamic Back on his new power wheelchair, Carl is able to stay seated with his body in alignment with the support surfaces of the seating system.
The Impact of Dynamic Seating on Computer Access
Carl used to lay on his stomach on a mat on the floor in order to access a computer keyboard using a head stick. With Dynamic Seating, he can now access his computer while seated in his power wheelchair.
Joe’s Dynamic Footrests
Joe has cerebral palsy and dystonia. His Dynamic Rocker Back interface, in combination with his Dynamic Footrests, allow him to move, prevent breakage, and maintain his posture within the seating system.
The impact of Dynamic Seating on power wheelchair driving
Carl explains why it was difficult for him to drive his previous power wheelchair and how dynamic seating has improved his ability to drive his new power wheelchair.
Carl before and after Dynamic Seating
Carl uses a molded seating systems with power wheelchair. See how Dynamic Seating improves both his positioning and function.
