Supporting body and mind

A wheelchair does more than provide physical support to the user - it also offers sensory feedback that supports the brain. In some cases, sitting can require more energy than it gives back. When a standard wheelchair does not provide sufficient support for the body and/or brain, the Kelvin can be the right solution. Thanks to its thoughtful design, Kelvin supports not only posture but also the user’s sense of safety and calm. This ensures the user stays engaged, mobile, and comfortable -whether in bed, at the table, indoors, or outdoors.

  • Postural stability through Kelvin’s encompassing contour and defined design
  • Appropriate, defined sensory feedback promotes calm and stability

Which clients benefit most from Kelvin?

Kelvin is designed for people with increased muscle tone, contractures, pain, risk of pressure ulcers, or restlessness. By providing the body with proper postural support and—if needed—clear, targeted sensory feedback, Kelvin helps create calm and a comfortable seating position. In this way, Kelvin not only supports daily functioning but also actively contributes to pressure ulcer prevention.

Support that goes beyond comfort

Kelvin is designed with one goal: to provide the user with a safe, stable, and comfortable sitting experience that places sensory needs at the forefront. The thoughtful construction of the seating system creates an optimal balance between sensory feedback, stability, pressure distribution, and comfort. Each component works together not only to enable good posture but also to actively support daily functioning.
