Description

TiLite TWIST

Child prodigy.

The TiLite TWIST is a lightweight, adjustable pediatric wheelchair designed for exploration, independence, and play. Unlike other chairs, growth is built-in—no extra parts or kits needed!

Key Features:

Adjustable seat size: Expands from 8”x8” to 15”x16”, with 2” width and 3” depth growth.
Fully customizable: Choose wheels, handrims, tires, wheel locks, colors, and more.
Lightweight and durable: Designed for easy maneuverability and long-term use.
Center mount anti-tip with single swivel caster: allows for skill acquisition without compromising safety
High-mount footplate system: as small as 6" of seat to floor height without need for risers or clamp on systems
TiShaft back release bar: folding and unfolding the back support from any angle

Growable

With the TWIST, growth is built in. Sized from 8″ x 8″ up to 15″ x 16″, the TWIST offers 2″ of growth in seat width and 3″ of growth in seat depth.

Full Adjustability

The Tru-Fit system incorporates an infinite adjustment mechanism allowing you to fine tune the fit of your wheelchair because you are not limited to a series of pre-set holes.

Parent Friendly

The TWIST center-mounted push handle option is height-adjustable and easily removable.

Size Chart / measuring guide

A-
Seat Depth

Measure from the most posterior point of the body to the inside of the knee, minus at least two inches. Some prefer more leg overhang to make room for their hand when lifting their leg.

B-
Back Height

Measured from the seat base to the top of the wheelchair back. Depends on how much upper back support is needed, and also affects freedom for the upper body to rotate.

c-
Rear Seat to Floor

Measurement from the ground to the rear seat edge. Relative to the front seat-to-floor dimension, this determines the rearward slope ("dump" or "squeeze") of the wheelchair seat.

D-
Hanger Angle

Determines how far the toes extend away from the body, measured from the horizontal. A tighter angle allows the wheelchair to turn around in less space. Depends in part on ability of the knee to bend towards the perpendicular

E-
Seat Width

Determined by the widest point of the body from knee to hip, plus an inch to ensure room to move. Consider bulk of clothing, particularly a heavy winter coat, if relevant.

F-
Wheel Camber

Angle of the wheel relative to the vertical. More camber improves stability and agility, but also limits ability to pass through narrow spaces. A typical daily wheelchair uses three degrees of camber.

G-
Front Seat to Floor

Measure the leg from the back of the knee to the sole of the foot. Then subtract the thickness of the cushion when it is compressed. Next, add a minimum of two inches for footrest clearance. Do not add the footrest clearance if the wheelchair will be foot-propelled.

H-
Footrest Width

Measure from the inside of each leg rest tubing the distance or desired distance between leg rests.

H-
Footrest Width

Measure from the inside of each leg rest tubing the distance or desired distance between leg rests.

I-
Center of Gravity

Measure from the front of the seat back post to the center of the rear axle.

J-
Seat to Footrest Length

Measure from the edge of the seat upholstery to the top rear of the footrest.

K-
Backrest Angle

Measure the angle of the back post to the floor. Ninety degrees will be perpendicular to the floor, to approximate the angle from the back post to the seat, subtract two degrees from measurement for every .5" of dump
