Optimizing Performance of the QUICKIE IRIS

Optimizing Performance of the QUICKIE IRIS

30/06/2023

Intelligent Rotation in Space (IRIS) technology on the QUICKIE IRIS® was designed for the seat frame to rotate around the user's center of gravity, resulting in a smooth tilting motion and a system that remains balanced within a tilted position. Functionally, this design results in a tilt that is easy to control and allows for the shortest possible wheelbase that is easy to maneuver. Ultimately, prescription and final adjustments to this highly configurable system will impact the ease with which the chair can tilt and is essential to optimizing its performance.

As our clients age, it becomes important to consider decreases in strength and endurance, and also diseases that could cause disability. Strokes and other neurologic diseases become increasingly common with aging. A stroke often reduces mobility and motor control on one side of the body, creating challenges for both mobility and seated posture. This difference in strength can create postural asymmetries. Sliding out of chairs or falling also becomes common. Heart conditions, decreased lung capacity, and arthritic changes decrease mobility and strength for moving.
