This design consideration ensures a greater range of motion and freedom for the user.

The angle adjustable hardware of the Ride Java Wheelchair Back provides customization options to suit individual preferences and needs.

Whether one prefers a more upright position or a slightly reclined posture, this feature enables effortless adjustment to accommodate diverse seating requirements.
