[QUAD-L] Chair back preferences

[wheelchair]

Some learn quickly, while others learn in time that seat and positioning is everything when using a wheelchair is not an option, but a necessity.  Poor positioning can produce further discomfort and injury.  A positioning evaluation takes longer, but is worth the effort.  Ask anyone who has had one.
