Stability, Symmetry & Shoulder Freedom
NXT Back Supports, support the spinal column within the “Scapula Triangle” which improves shoulder freedom and head control. They also provide support to the side of the pelvis and thorax to stabilize the entire spinal column.
Bottom Edge Pelvic Cut-Out
Allows the bottom edge of the back support to rest in the PSIS area. This provides a space for the buttocks to protrude beyond the back for a better, more natural seated position
smartGEL™ Visco Foam
smartGEL is a Visco Elastic foam that is infused with gel. It is incredibly soft, highly resilient, and long-lasting. The gel is incorporated into the foam mixture at the molecular level, which allows for 100% homogeneous cooling with no breakdown of embedded gel beads.
Customizable Lateral Contour
Lateral contours can be bent in or out for better postural control and a customized fit.
One-Hand Quick Release
The NXT unique One-Hand Quick Release feature, allows for the back to be easily removed from the chair – with just one hand!
Low Pivot Point
The mounting hardware attachment points have a low pivot point designed to pivot around the pelvis. This allows you to support the pelvis while adjusting recline and reduces the movement of the pelvis affected by angle adjustment of the hardware.
smartx3D™ Fabric
Unlike two-dimensional fabrics, smartx3D uses a three-layer technology that includes two separate fabrics joined by a monofilament yarn that creates a breathable channel between the two fabrics. It is this channel that gives smartx3D its 3D structure and creating a “micro-climate” between layers.
