Lateral Trunk
Supports

All the great benefits of the Spex Axial Lateral Trunk Supports, but in a smaller package, perfectly proportioned for kids!

Positioning lateral supports can be tricky on paediatric wheelchairs where there is limited space for additional accessories and attachments. The Spex Paediatric Swing-Away Lateral Trunk Support has been specially designed with slim componentry, allowing for easier placement on smaller wheelchairs.

The Spex Paediatric Swing-Away Lateral Hardware, with its patented mechanically rotational system ensures that the user’s trunk is always kept well supported even in the most challenging positions. A well-fitting lateral support will improve balance, posture, and comfort in the wheelchair.

Allowing movement in all support surface planes enables the lateral pad to rotate to correctly align to the user’s trunk, regardless of complexity of posture.

As well as offering width and depth adjustment that all Spex Lateral Supports provide, the innovative mechanism of the Paediatric Swing-Away enables multi-angular adjustability of the support pad.

Complete your Lateral Trunk Support solution by selecting from our large variety of lateral support pads.
The optimum fit to the user’s body shape and postural requirements can be achieved through a range of shapes, sizes, overlays and covers.

Spex Paediatric Lateral Mechanisms are provided with a comfy protective sleeve that ensures the user’s arms are protected from any hard surfaces.
