Permobil
F5 Corpus VS
Described as “standing without compromise,” Permobil’s new F5 front-wheel-drive power base with the Corpus VS standing option allows the user to drive from any point of the standing sequence. A redesigned chest bar offers greater user comfort and stability while upright. The F5 Corpus VS still retains 50° of posterior tilt, 85-180° of power recline and an optional 14" of seat elevation so consumers can access the precise positioning they need to optimally function throughout the day. The power positioning options also enable the consumer to achieve the best weight-shifting positions, while enjoying improved respiration and circulation in standing mode.
An ATP & Clinician Best Pick of 2017:
Permobil F5 VS Group 4 power wheelchair with multiple power options including a standing feature: The reasoning behind it is it is very beneficial for specific patient diagnoses and very difficult to get funding sources to pay for them, so it gives us RTS’s purpose and cause.

F3 Corpus
An ATP & Clinician Best Pick of 2017:
This is (again) a game changer. This will allow users all the features of a great base that have been substantially enhanced, but it now has anterior tilt for the user for transfers, pressure relief, spasticity control, functional reach and a whole host of other considerations. Why would you not (as an ATP or therapist) consider this in your portfolio of choices?

An ATP & Clinician Best Pick of 2017:

— Joel Perez, ATP, QRP, National Seating & Mobility
Great frame with lots of features and looks stylish with the newer covers for the joystick, etc. Easy to program and make changes over time.

Quickie QM-7 Enhancements
Sunrise Medical’s popular mid-wheeldrive
QM-7 power chair has a series of
enhancements aimed at optimizing
and fine-tuning its performance for
every user’s particular needs. SureTrac
Encoder Motor Technology (pictured)
automatically corrects small deviations in
its user’s driving, resulting in a straighter
ride that requires fewer input corrections
and overall, a more comfortable ride. SureTrac’s
self-compensating drive control accounts for resistance
at each of the QM-7’s wheels and sends appropriate amperage
to each motor. That acts to neutralize different terrains such as
carpet, hardwood floors and slopes. The QM-7 also is compatible
with an array of electronics options, including PG Drives’ joystick with
built-in Bluetooth and infrared controls; an Advanced Ctrl+5 toggles
and buttons (also pictured, to conveniently access up to five seating
functions, and with a handy USB port that can charge mobile devices)
and Switch-It’s Dual Pro proportional head array.
