i-Drive Control systeM
I like the new Stealth
i-Drive specialty control
module. It is basically a
newer type of electronic
interface device that allows
you to set up, connect and
program specialty drive and
switch controls on complex,
high-end power wheelchairs for people that lack the ability to drive with a traditional hand control joystick set-up.
With this new technology, the users can access input devices that will allow them to drive and use power seating functions through alternative switch access. We have been using a lot of knee abductor-mounted switches for our ALS [clients] and have had some successful outcomes.

M3 CorPus Power Chair
The anterior tilt packages and Connected chair features are one
of a kind, and the chair overall is unmatched in terms of quality, dura- bility and positioning.

6-Point Chest harness
Biodynamics’ standard 6-point chest harness is a great solution for the little “Houdini’s” we serve!
I have one such Houdini of my own, and previously had to have another seating company make one of these custom, which of course raised the pricing to a less comfortable level.
With a standard model, Biodynamics
has provided a great, affordable solution for those that were able to find their way out of the usual 4-point harnesses.

DynaMiC Footrests
I love the Seating
Dynamics Dynamic
Footrests because these
move in response to client
force, removing leverage
and helping my client to
stay in position instead of
standing in their wheel-
chair! This reduces overall
extension and helps the client better tolerate the wheelchair seating system.

M1 Power Chair
The M1 is a new option in single-power that boasts Permobil quality at a great price point.

liberty wheelChair
Ki has, once again, listened closely to the needs of the consumer, ther- apist and supplier, and responded with a very well-thought-out and beautifully designed solution!
This chair is a great product for
the manual chair user who wants to
continue to self-propel with upper
or lower extremities, but needs
some extra positioning and/or pressure relief. The weight and ease of folding is impressive for all of the function it provides, and consumers and therapists find it attractive!
As always, Ki has also been mindful of our funding challenges, and has been able to provide pricing that aligns well with our current funding restrictions.
