Corpus 3G Headrest Overview
When setting up a high-performance power wheelchair, head support is never just an afterthought. Proper neck alignment directly impacts swallowing, eye contact, breathing, and overall comfort throughout the day. The Permobil Corpus 3G Headrest proves that a standard factory component can deliver extraordinary ergonomic support when engineered with precision.
Designed specifically to complement the Corpus 3G seating system, this headrest combines robust structural adjustment with targeted pressure relief. It provides reliable stability whether resting upright, driving over uneven outdoor terrain, or relaxing in a fully tilted position.
Precision Positioning with Multiple Adjustment Handles
Every head shape and posture requirement is unique. The Permobil Corpus 3G Headrest features multiple heavy-duty adjustment handles that allow clinical team members, caregivers, and users to fine-tune the headrest placement without complicated tools.
The multi-axis hardware permits independent control over:
-
Vertical Height: Adjusts upward or downward to match the user’s cervical spine length.
-
Forward/Backward Depth: Slides along the mounting stem to position the pad directly behind the occiput without causing forward head posture.
-
Angle and Tilt: Rotates to accommodate kyphosis, head tilt, or specific visual field requirements.
Because the adjustment handles clamp securely in place, the headrest retains its set position during daily power seat operations like tilt and recline.
Advanced Dual-Layer Foam Construction
Underneath its durable cover, the headrest pad utilizes a dual-layer foam design crafted to balance firm structural support with soft surface cushioning.
-
High-Density Base Layer: Acts as a firm foundation that absorbs shock while the chair is in motion, preventing the head from bottoming out against the mounting hardware.
-
Viscoelastic Top Layer: Molds gently to the natural contours of the head and neck, distributing pressure evenly to reduce skin breakdown risks and minimize fatigue.
This dual-layer technology ensures that even during extended periods of sitting, the user experiences continuous comfort and stable head positioning .visit the official Permobil makers site
