\"The

The user with her individually adapted wheelchair<\/p><\/div><\/figure>\n

A lightweight manual active chair in titanium, customized for the needs of each user to achieve an ergonomically correct sitting position, good drivability, and low weight. The chair has a hard seat and an individually adapted hard back. The user\u2019s chair weighs 4.52 kg; the chassis alone weighs 3 kg.<\/p>\n

Model: Ergo drive (now called TiArrow)<\/p>\n

Users comments<\/strong>
\nThe user received the wheelchair from the manufacturer as a test chair. She is extremely satisfied with the chair. It is easy to drive and makes a big difference for her shoulders. It is easy for her to get in and out of the car. The hard seat prevents it from becoming a ‘hammock’ and the large support surface from below enhances the cushion properties.
\nThe frontwheels are easy to clean; the wheel can be removed with just a wrench.<\/p>\n

The chair is extremely durable; the user has had it for 5 years and it still feels like it\u2019s brand new.<\/p>\n

Stockholm and a few other county councils in Sweden offer Free Choice for certain assistive devices, which allows the user to choose a different product than what the healthcare authorities have in the regular line of products. After consultation with a coordinator the user can get a requisition for a specific assistive device and then buy it from a private supplier\/store. With Free Choice users can get a customized Ergo drive or TiArrow Everyday (how the chair is called today, June 2017).<\/p>\n
