While most conventional ultralight designs provide sufficient adjustability to
be customized for an individual user, the configuration itself is inherently
"static".
A static configuration can never provide optimal usability during every
functional task & environment in which the user with SCI routinely uses
their wheelchair.
As a result, optimizing an ultralight's configuration has primarily focused on
propulsion and positioning in the user's primary environment of use.
(We refer to this as the user's "Base Configuration")
Static Configuration and “Optimal” Setup
Ensuring the individual can safely use their chair in other environments
and activities is usually addressed by deciding what concessions & trade-
off's need to be made to the user's base configuration.
