Wheelchair backs that support the spinal curves: Assessing postural and functional changes.

Conclusions: This pilot study demonstrated that a wheelchair back, which supports the seated spinal curves improves upright posture, functional reach, and wheelchair propulsion skills. Further research is necessary to demonstrate statistical findings as well as to assess back height and lateral support. PMID: 32406808 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
