| E-Motion – Push Power Assist I can operate a power assist manual wheelchair. With just 20% of a normal push generates an extra 80% of motorized support. That e-motion wheelchair is perfect for individuals with limited mobility in the upper extremities. Especially for people with limited mobility with their hands and triceps. Also people who have shoulder injuries but want to continue using a manual wheelchair. |

I use the J2 cushion on both my manual and power wheelchair. The J2 is specially designed for people at high risk for skin breakdown. There is cut out for the pelvic region with about 2 inches of Jay Flow fluid, which feels like a gel like fluid.

| Varalite Evolution Back This back should only be used for individuals with good trunk control. I like this back on manual wheelchairs because it frees up the elbows from hitting any lateral supports. |  |
| Jay 2 Deep Contour Back |
This back should only be used for individuals with poor trunk control. I like this back on power wheelchairs because it stabilizes the rib cage giving an individual the proper lateral support.
