Varilite Rigidiser
The Varilite Rigidiser is a solid insert designed to counteract the negative effects of sling upholstery in wheelchairs. It's crafted from durable plywood and can be placed between the cushion and upholstery, or inside the cushion cover, to improve sitting balance and comfort. The Rigidiser addresses issues like internal rotation of the lower extremities, sacral sitting, and posterior pelvic tilt, helping users maintain a more neutral pelvic position and greater spinal extension.
