Tracer SX5 Custom

No strengths of the SX5

This chair might be good for someone with a small frame and that doest’t require a lot of activity. The seat is weak and is already sagging.

I am a male in my 50’s with MS.  I am 6’3 and approx 260 pounds

I like the rest of the chair like I said before I have had probably 10 or 15 in the last 40 years. 

Hand rims

nicky o. from ronceverte, wv

I have had several of these chairs and never had one with these hand rims on it. They are a very rough texture on them and will burn your hands.

Rolls easily. Light enough to put in car trunk. Easy to push or for patient to move.

Clothing shield cracks in a couple of years. Vinyl arm pads cracks in a couple of years. Arm support sockets not a smooth snap-in. Brake adjustment could be much easier.

WE WILL KEEP HIS OLD TRACER CHAIR AND ARE TRYING TO HAVE THE NEW CHAIR REBUILT.

THE NEW CHAIR WAS 27 1/2" WIDE. THIS IS A BARIATRIC CHAIR. IT DIDN'T FIT THROUGH OUR DOORS.

THIS PRODUCT WILL NOT WORK FOR UAS. I CALLED SPINLIFE UPON RECEIPT AND SAID THAT IT WAS WAY TOO BIG. NO POSSIBLE RETURN BECAUSE IT WAS CUSTOM.

This wheelchair fits me well and makes me feel stable when moving around.

For me, the legs aren't what I expected. My feet don't reach the footplates and the legs aren't made for me to raise and lower them.

brenda w. from williamston, nc

I'm 58 years old with the birth defect spina bifida. Due to that, I'm a paraplegic and require a wheelchair.

It’s streamlined

I wish there was a handle by large wheel for lifting into car when folded up

bob g. from phoenix, md (caregiver)

Woman, age 82, knee arthritis, partial foot amputation diabetes related infection. Able to stand but requires holding on to walker or wall devices.

Well made.

For a short legged person, feet do not touch the floor enough to allow them to help maual propulsion.

john k e. from mcminnville, or (caregiver)

My wife is just learning how to use a wheelchair. She is 95,deaf and dementia. Teaching her how to use a wheelchair is slow and frustrating.

The ability to be ordered with smaller wheels. The comfort of the chair when she is in it most of the day. It moves easier.

The extended brake levers fall off easily.

Lightweight, very smooth operation.
