If I don't feel my chair is right for my leg and feet, and I ask for another wheelchair seating to fix the problem. The company doesn't seem to understand the problems I face because my left leg was broken and the ball joint disintegrated. It causes my leg go in a upside down V positioning and causing further food drop on my lap side where my femur was broken. I think I need something specially made. Does anybody have an idea of how to get that done.

Actually the bace is a motion concept and the rest is a Quantum Edge because of the power headrest. The power headrest works off the joy stick, there is a setting to raise up the headrest and also to bring it as close to my head as I want or need it. It's sweet. The chair is a dream, I just LOVE it ... It fits perfect. I didn't take it home or sign for it because the arm rests didn't have the "waterfall" padding on the outside that I requested. Also, the shoe holders for the foot plates didn't come in yet. So, my supplier is going to deliver it to my home with the 2 issues fixed. He also needs to adjust the foot plates so the weight of my thighs are properly disturbed equally over my thighs and feet. And I might have him do a little more tweaking with the speeds and responses ... It just seems too jerky. I absolutely love, love the center wheel drive. I'm going back to Kessler's wheelchair clinic August 22nd as a "follow-up" to see if everything is OK, something they do with everybody. I asked the PT why she was handling the wheelchair clinic and not an OT and she said "... when I was going to school, I just kept getting drawn more and more toward the clients seating then PT, because you all spend your lives in your chairs and I wanted to make a difference. So I kept signing up for specialized seating and got certified." She's a sweetheart and is extremely through. The seating is all she dose for many years now. Bobbie Sent from my iPad
