Draft:Tilt-in-space wheelchairs

Tilt-in-space wheelchairs or tilting wheelchairs is a feature available on manual or power wheelchairs. Tilt-in-space means the user is able to move backwards without changing the seat to back angle. Tilt-in-space is typically found in power wheelchairs and utilized to regulate blood pressure, relieve pressure on body parts to reduce the risk of skin breakdown, and to provide opportunity for the wheelchair user to be in a restful position. It is important to consult a health care provider to learn the best way to implement tilt-in-space features. For example, research has shown that specific angles work best for preventing skin damage in people with spinal cord injury.
