Electric tilting is a key component that provides significant benefits to wheelchair users. Tilt to maintain the sitting angle while moving the weight backwards. The main reason for the increase of tilt in electric wheelchairs is for pressure management. This is essential for individuals to remove the seat surface and minimize the risk of pressure ulcers. Tilting has many other benefits, such as but not limited to: independent repositioning to obtain greater sitting endurance, changing the influence of gravity to improve breathing and speech production, spatial orientation to improve vision, and gravity assistance to support head and trunk control.
