The Actaback patented moldable aluminum stays conform and support the user’s back. It is complete with patented Compass® or Power Mount Hardware.
A well-designed wheelchair back support should provide more than a place to rest your back. It should work with the individual’s seating position, offer useful adjustment options, and provide comfortable support throughout everyday use. The Comfort Company Actaback is designed with these needs in mind, combining a durable moldable aluminum shell with adjustable mounting hardware and a multi-layer foam construction.
The Actaback features patented moldable aluminum stays that can conform to the user’s back, helping create a more individualized seating configuration. It is supplied with patented Compass or Power Mount Hardware, giving seating professionals the ability to adjust the back support for height, depth, and angle of recline.
Available with 3″, 5″, or 7″ of lateral thoracic support, the Actaback can be configured to provide different levels of lateral trunk support. The durable aluminum shell also includes head support holes and slots for lateral trunk support hardware, giving the seating system additional flexibility.
With a comfortable Visco surface layer, quick-release hardware, and adjustments that can be made while the user remains seated, the Actaback is designed to make personalized wheelchair seating more practical and convenient.
The Comfort Company Actaback is a wheelchair back support system designed for individualized seating and positioning.
Its moldable aluminum construction allows the back support to be shaped to better follow the user’s body. This is particularly useful when a standard, flat backrest does not provide the level of customization required for a particular seating configuration.
The Actaback can be adapted to different seating needs through its adjustable hardware and lateral support options. Rather than relying on a fixed backrest shape, the system provides multiple ways to configure the support according to the individual and their wheelchair.
This makes it a useful option for seating professionals working with users who require a more customized back support arrangement.
One of the defining features of the Actaback is its patented moldable aluminum stays.
The aluminum stays can be shaped to conform to the user’s back, creating a more personalized support profile. This allows the backrest to follow the individual’s anatomy rather than forcing the user to conform to a predetermined shape.
The durable aluminum shell provides a strong foundation for the seating system while still allowing the support to be customized.
Moldability is particularly useful when a user’s posture or body shape requires a more individualized contour. Proper adjustment should be carried out by a qualified seating professional who understands the user’s wheelchair and positioning requirements.
The Actaback uses a durable aluminum shell designed to provide structure and support.
The shell includes dedicated head support holes, allowing compatible head support hardware to be incorporated into the backrest system when required.
This built-in provision makes it easier to create a more comprehensive seating setup without needing to replace the entire back support.
The shell also includes slots for lateral trunk support hardware, providing additional flexibility for configuring the backrest around the user’s positioning needs.
The Actaback is available with different levels of lateral thoracic support, including:
These options allow the back support to be selected according to the level of lateral support required for the individual’s seating configuration.
Lateral thoracic support can be an important component of a customized wheelchair seating system because it provides support around the upper torso while helping maintain the intended seating position.
The appropriate option depends on the user’s body shape, wheelchair configuration, seating goals, and professional assessment.
Having three different support sizes gives seating professionals greater flexibility when choosing a configuration that fits the individual.
Comfort is an important part of any wheelchair seating system, particularly when the back support will be used for extended periods.
The Actaback features a three-layer foam construction designed to provide a combination of cushioning, support, and contouring.
One of the layers is a comfortable Visco surface layer, which is designed to contour to the user’s body.
The layered construction helps create a more accommodating surface between the user and the rigid structural components of the back support.
This combination of structure and cushioning gives the Actaback a balanced design that focuses on both positioning and everyday comfort.
The Visco surface layer is designed to contour around the user’s body and provide a comfortable contact surface.
Visco foam is valued for its ability to respond to body pressure and conform to the shape of the person using it. Within the Actaback, this material works alongside the multi-layer foam construction to create a more supportive and comfortable backrest surface.
The goal is to provide a seating experience that feels less rigid while maintaining the structural support provided by the aluminum shell.
The Actaback’s aluminum shell includes dedicated lateral trunk support hardware slots.
These slots provide mounting options for compatible lateral trunk support components, allowing the backrest to be configured according to the user’s positioning requirements.
This is particularly useful when the seating system needs additional lateral support beyond the central backrest surface.
The ability to incorporate lateral trunk support hardware into the shell helps make the Actaback a flexible component within a more comprehensive wheelchair positioning system.
The Actaback comes complete with patented Compass or Power Mount Hardware.
The hardware is designed to provide three important adjustment points:
These adjustments allow the backrest to be positioned more precisely within the wheelchair.
Every user has different seating requirements, and the ideal position of a back support can depend on the individual’s body shape, wheelchair dimensions, and preferred seating configuration.
The adjustable mounting system provides seating professionals with the flexibility to make these changes during the fitting process.
One of the most convenient aspects of the Actaback hardware is that its adjustments can be made while the user remains seated in the wheelchair.
This can eliminate the need for multiple transfers during the fitting process.
For wheelchair users who find repeated transfers difficult or tiring, reducing unnecessary transfers can make the fitting process more manageable.
It also allows the seating professional to make adjustments while observing the user’s position directly in the wheelchair.
Height, depth, and recline angle can be fine-tuned while the user remains seated, helping streamline the process of creating an appropriate configuration.
The Actaback also features a quick-release mechanism designed for convenient backrest removal.
The release feature allows the backrest to be removed vertically within seconds when properly operated.
This can be particularly useful when the wheelchair needs to be transported, stored, or serviced.
Instead of requiring extensive disassembly, the quick-release design allows the backrest to be separated from the wheelchair mounting system more efficiently.
The feature can also be convenient for caregivers and wheelchair professionals who regularly handle or transport the equipment.
After reinstalling the backrest, the mounting connection should always be checked to make sure it is secure before the wheelchair is used.
The Actaback is designed with head support holes, and BodiLink™ Head Support and Hardware are available as optional components.
This allows users who require compatible head support to incorporate it into the overall seating setup.
Head support requirements vary between individuals, so the appropriate hardware and configuration should be determined according to the user’s needs and wheelchair system.
The optional BodiLink components can provide another level of customization for users building a more comprehensive seating and positioning solution.
The Actaback combines several features designed to make customized wheelchair seating more adaptable.
Patented aluminum stays can be molded to conform to the user’s back and create a more individualized support profile.
The shell provides a sturdy foundation and includes holes for compatible head support hardware.
Choose from 3″, 5″, or 7″ of lateral thoracic support depending on the seating configuration.
The three-layer foam construction provides cushioning and support while incorporating a comfortable Visco surface layer.
Compass or Power Mount Hardware provides adjustments for height, depth, and recline angle.
Hardware adjustments can be performed while the user remains seated, helping reduce unnecessary transfers during fitting.
The backrest can be removed vertically within seconds using the quick-release mechanism.
The aluminum shell includes slots for compatible lateral trunk support hardware.
BodiLink Head Support and Hardware are available separately for compatible configurations.
No two wheelchair seating setups are exactly alike. Differences in body shape, posture, wheelchair dimensions, and daily activities can all influence the type of support required.
The Actaback wheelchair back support is designed with this variation in mind.
Its moldable aluminum structure allows the backrest to be shaped to the individual. The available lateral thoracic support options provide additional configuration choices, while the adjustable mounting hardware allows the overall position to be refined.
This flexibility can make the Actaback suitable for a broad range of customized seating applications.
Comfort Company also develops seating and postural support systems for people with a wide range of rehabilitation needs, including pediatric, geriatric, and bariatric applications.
The correct product configuration should always be selected based on the individual user’s requirements.
Comfort Company focuses on the development and manufacture of seating and postural support products designed around comfort, durability, functionality, and ease of use.
The Actaback reflects this approach by combining structural support with adjustable positioning and comfortable materials.
Rather than treating the backrest as a simple accessory, the system provides multiple adjustment points that allow it to become part of a more individualized seating solution.
For seating professionals, this can provide useful flexibility when working with different wheelchair users and configurations.
An adjustable wheelchair back support may be appropriate for users who need more flexibility than a standard backrest provides.
The Actaback may be considered when a seating system requires:
The exact configuration should be determined through an appropriate seating assessment.
Before ordering an Actaback, it is important to consider the user’s specific seating requirements and the wheelchair’s mounting configuration.
Think about the amount of lateral thoracic support needed, the required backrest dimensions, whether head support is necessary, and which mounting hardware is appropriate.
The available 3″, 5″, and 7″ lateral support options provide different levels of support, while Compass and Power Mount Hardware offer mounting flexibility.
If you are unsure which configuration is suitable, consult a qualified wheelchair seating professional or rehabilitation equipment provider.
Proper fitting and installation are important to ensure that the back support works correctly with the wheelchair.
Because the Actaback is part of a wheelchair seating system, installation should be completed carefully according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The mounting hardware should be securely attached, and all adjustments should be checked before the wheelchair is used.
Regularly inspect the shell, foam, straps, mounting hardware, and quick-release mechanism for signs of damage or excessive wear.
If anything appears loose, damaged, or does not operate as expected, have the equipment inspected by a qualified professional before continued use.
Following appropriate care and maintenance practices can help preserve the performance and appearance of the back support.
