Mobile Design: The mobile frame allows for safe and easy transportation and repositioning of the participant within the home, facility, or community setting, facilitating participation in daily activities and promoting independence.
Appropriate Use: This support is typically suitable for individuals who require sophisticated adjustments beyond the scope of standard seating, based on a comprehensive assessment by an appropriately qualified Assistive Technology assessor.
