LUCI View
LUCI View is a software that offers users
a bird’s-eye view of their wheelchair’s
surroundings, pinpointing obstacles and
drop-offs as detected. This wheelchair tech-
nology is the first of its kind and based on
the same principles and design of the driv-
er-assistance systems in a Tesla or BMW. LUCI View allows users to drive more confidently, even while going backwards or in difficult spaces to navigate.

WHEELCHAIR SECUREMENT
Q’STRAINT ONE
Q’STRAINT ONE is an all-in-one wheelchair securement station that replaces the many parts and obstacles of traditional 4-point securement with a simplified, single-platform system. Securement is now straightforward, with visible indicators, audible feedback,
and push-button operation. The all-in-one design reduces the guesswork associated with properly anchoring securement into the vehicle floor, as well as concerns about missing parts and storing system components.

AVIVA RX Rear-Wheel-Drive with Ultra Low Maxx
The Invacare AVIVA RX power wheelchair was developed
with the customer experience in mind and brings new
features to enhance the user, provider and clinician expe-
rience. It’s an innovative leap forward in rear-wheel-drive
power wheelchairs. Targeted for users who travel outdoors
but also need maneuverability for indoors, AVIVA STORM
RX is intuitive to drive and is an easy transition for people
who move from a manual wheelchair to a power wheel-
chair. A compact base design offers better maneuver-
ability, while SureGrip suspension increases traction going
over obstacles. Front caster bushings decrease vibrations the user feels and thus helps reduce fatigue. Front casters are moved outboard to allow use of a center- mount front rigging to help improve the comfort of the user. The center mount front rigging can tuck under up to 7˚. AVIVA RX comes with Motion Concepts’ Ultra Low Maxx seating system and LiNX electronic controls.
