Description
The TiLite SX wheelchair is a remarkable breakthrough in strength to weight engineering. Weighing as little as 23 pounds, it is designed to easily fold to as narrow as six inches with the wheels removed. The TiLite SX wheelchair has a distinctive cross tube design and lock-in seat saddle for a rigid wheelchair feel. It offers a unique angle adjustable footplate to add ground clearance, and a choice of 70- or 80-degree straight, or 80-degree tapered hangers. The SX offers a wide array of options that create maximum adjustability and performance.

It is what I expected and got with excellent service to boot.
Reviewer: Norman H. from Canada (caregiver)End User Desc: I am 74 and my daughter is 44 with CP. Our other chairs were just too heavy. This one is super. Does not bother my back on transfers.
Strengths: Weight is number one,but ease of movement has to be in there with well built machine.
Weaknesses: I neglected to order anti tip to get over bad entries, but will order by months end.

So far I'm happy I purchased it.
Reviewer: Eugene D. from Yorktown Heights, NYEnd User Desc: Male, age 69 with disability from Primary Progessive MS.
Strengths: Lightweight; ease of use; very well built and the ride, thanks to the spoked wheels with treaded tires.
Weaknesses: The jury is still out on this, but perhaps the Roho cushion and the arm rests.

Best manual chair I have had.
Reviewer: Carl P. from Lake Station, INEnd User Desc: Male, age 64, paraplegic for 41 years.
Strengths: Light weight.
Weaknesses: The transfer loops on the desk arms are too short they should reach at least to within 1 inch of the front frame. The wrist hits the arm pad as it is now.

Don't look at any others, this one is the best.
Reviewer: Dan B. from Bloomfield Hills, MI (caregiver)End User Desc: The gentleman I work for has MS, and in the last 5 years I have tried several manufactures of supposedly light wheelchairs.
Strengths: It's weight and quality.
Weaknesses: Only down size was having to put it together when it arrived, but even that was simple enough.

Light weight as expected. With time, I won't need the tools that add back the weight savings!
Reviewer: Richard C. from Los Altos, CAEnd User Desc: Physical disability - balance; needed for lght weight
Strengths:
Weaknesses: Armrests can be pulled out (unexpectedly by several cab/limo drivers). Can this be friction mounted with some sort of light weight, quick release mechanism?

| Seat
Depth1 Measure from the most posterior point of the body to the inside of the knee, minus at least two inches. Some prefer more leg overhang to make room for their hand when lifting their leg. Back Height2 Measured from the seat base to the top of the wheelchair back. Depends on how much upper back support is needed, and also affects freedom for the upper body to rotate. Rear Seat to Floor3 Measurement from the ground to the rear seat edge. Relative to the front seat-to-floor dimension, this determines the rearward slope ("dump" or "squeeze") of the wheelchair seat. Hanger Angle4 Determines how far the toes extend away from the body, measured from the horizontal. A tighter angle allows the wheelchair to turn around in less space. Depends in part on ability of the knee to bend towards the perpendicular. Seat Width5 Determined by the widest point of the body from knee to hip, plus an inch to ensure room to move. Consider bulk of clothing, particularly a heavy winter coat, if relevant. Wheel Camber6 Angle of the wheel relative to the vertical. More camber improves stability and agility, but also limits ability to pass through narrow spaces. A typical daily wheelchair uses three degrees of camber. Front Seat to Floor7 Measure the leg from the back of the knee to the sole of the foot. Then subtract the thickness of the cushion when it is compressed. Next, add a minimum of two inches for footrest clearance. Do not add the footrest clearance if the wheelchair will be foot-propelled. |
