## Indications for use
The Bariatric Power Positioning System is appropriate for use by any individual who drives a power wheelchair and who desires or requires a change of position without having to utilize the services of an attendant. - Benefits associated with the tilt/recline product: • Comfort — as with any individual – able-bodied or disabled – changes in position are necessary to maintain a state of comfort. • Positioning — Individuals without adequate upper-body stability can be tilted to allow gravity to hold them in position. • Pressure Relief or Reduction — Individuals who wish, from time to time, to redistribute pressure from one area of the body to another, can do so by tilting and/or reclining. By changing the individual’s orientation in space, pressures caused by gravity will shift. Motion Concepts makes no claims as to the therapeutic effectiveness of the products. Our only claims relate to the ability of the products to provide safe and reliable powered repositioning on the equipment onto which they are installed.
