Croydon's wheelchair service aims to meet the needs of individuals with a permanent need for a wheelchair, with the overall aim of achieving independence in daily living.
Tilt in space wheelchairs will be issued to facilitate multi-positional caring for dependent wheelchair users where a user has met initial wheelchair service criteria.
A tilt-in-space wheelchair has the ability to adjust the angle of the seat whilst maintaining the seat to back angle.
A standard wheelchair with a fixed semi-reclining back and wedge cushion should be considered as the first option where a user needs to sit in a tilted position.
The user must meet all of the following criteria:
Environmental constraints and needs of main carer will be considered when prescribing this type of wheelchair. There must be sufficient space for such a wheelchair to be used. These wheelchairs will not be provided to overcome moving and handling/hoisting issues only.
If all of the above criteria are not met, consider:
Hospitals or rehabilitation units are expected to supply their own tilt in space wheelchairs to be used during rehabilitation.
Assessment for a tilt-in-space wheelchair will not be carried out while progress is being made and posture and/or mobility is still improving.
