When the upper body lacks adequate support, it can affect balance, breathing, and the ability to use the arms and hands effectively. That is why trunk supports are often a key component of an individual seating solution.<br \/>\nSpex trunk supports are designed to provide targeted support to the upper body and help stabilize the user\u2019s sitting position in the wheelchair. The system allows support to be positioned precisely where it is needed\u2014without unnecessarily restricting freedom of movement.<br \/>\nThe Spex system is modular and can be adapted to a wide range of needs. This means the solution can be individually adjusted for both children and adults with simple or more complex seating requirements.<\/p>\n<h4 data-section-id=\"1osc4s5\" data-start=\"1054\" data-end=\"1083\">What are Spex trunk supports?<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"893\" data-end=\"1058\">Spex trunk supports\u2014also known as lateral trunk supports\u2014are used to stabilize the upper body and help the user maintain a correct sitting posture in the wheelchair.<br \/>\nThe system typically consists of:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1095\" data-end=\"1296\">\n<li data-section-id=\"1jydgs\" data-start=\"1095\" data-end=\"1163\">\n<p data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1163\">an adjustable lateral bracket mounted to the wheelchair backrest<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"vvp0au\" data-start=\"1164\" data-end=\"1236\">\n<p data-start=\"1166\" data-end=\"1236\">an anatomical side pad that provides comfortable support to the body<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1mzaxn\" data-start=\"1237\" data-end=\"1296\">\n<p data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1296\">multiple adjustment options to ensure an individual fit<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1298\" data-end=\"1410\">This combination enables therapists to position the support precisely according to the user\u2019s posture and needs.<\/p>\n<h4 data-section-id=\"11eky45\" data-start=\"1631\" data-end=\"1668\">Benefits of the Spex trunk support system<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1464\" data-end=\"1562\">The Spex system is developed for clinical use, where both flexibility and stability are essential.<br \/>\nKey benefits include:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1587\" data-end=\"1864\">\n<li data-section-id=\"1xcl6kz\" data-start=\"1587\" data-end=\"1641\">\n<p data-start=\"1589\" data-end=\"1641\">modular system with multiple configuration options<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1pv7wiw\" data-start=\"1642\" data-end=\"1677\">\n<p data-start=\"1644\" data-end=\"1677\">precise adjustment of side pads<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"jpdabc\" data-start=\"1678\" data-end=\"1707\">\n<p data-start=\"1680\" data-end=\"1707\">stable upper body support<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1yucq80\" data-start=\"1708\" data-end=\"1754\">\n<p data-start=\"1710\" data-end=\"1754\">optional swing-away function for transfers<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"553vpw\" data-start=\"1755\" data-end=\"1795\">\n<p data-start=\"1757\" data-end=\"1795\">a wide range of pad shapes and sizes<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"188h3gw\" data-start=\"1796\" data-end=\"1864\">\n<p data-start=\"1798\" data-end=\"1864\">suitable for both symmetrical and asymmetrical seating positions<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 data-section-id=\"1hem8aj\" data-start=\"2119\" data-end=\"2147\">Spex Axial lateral brackets<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1904\" data-end=\"2143\">Spex Axial brackets are designed to provide a high level of flexibility in positioning the trunk support.
