REPLACING ADJUSTABLE TENSION BACK UPHOLSTERY (FIGURE 4).

1.Lift up on the existing back upholstery cover and remove the cover from the wheelchair.

2.Remove the two (2) mounting screws and wash- ers that secure the existing adjustable tension back upholstery to the back canes.

3.Slide each section (anchor loop/adjuster strap) of the existing adjustable tension back upholstery off of the back canes.

4.Slide each section (anchor loop/adjuster strap) of the new adjustable tension back upholstery onto the back canes with the grommet hole facing the rear of the wheelchair.

5.Secure new adjustable tension back upholstery to the back canes with the two (2) mounting screws and washers.

6.Slip adjuster straps through corresponding anchor loops and adjust the back upholstery. Secure with the fastening straps.

7.Secure the new back upholstery cover (fastening strap) to the back of the new adjustable tension back upholstery (fastening strap).

8.Flip the new back upholstery cover over the new ad- justable tension back upholstery and secure the fas- tening straps to the front of the new adjustable ten- sion back upholstery.

9.Lay the front portion of the new back upholstery cover on the seat upholstery.

10.Adjust the slack in the new back upholstery cover and then secure to the seat upholstery.

THE ADJUSTABLE TENSION STRAPS.

The straps can be adjusted at various levels of tension to accommodate individual end-users. In a typical scenario, the bottom two (2) straps can be adjusted tightly to sup- port and/or assist the extensor muscles.

The top two (2) straps would be left looser to allow the upper body to lean back over the upholstery to fight grav- ity. This configuration may enable the back canes to be lowered for a quad. In another instance, you might loosen all of the straps and allow the end-user to sink all the way back into the wheelchair.

Every person will be different. Let the therapist experiment withdifferentpositionsandthendecide.Itiseasytochange.

THE BACK UPHOLSTERY COVER.

The back upholstery cover is designed for three (3) rea- sons:

1.It is as a modesty cover to prevent one's posterior from protruding out of the wheelchair.

2.It keeps the cushion from sliding out of the back of the wheelchair.

3.It is a sacral support depending upon how far or tight the flap is pulled under the seat cushion.
