The Ultimate DME Seating Quiz

Question Title

* 1. With a positioning wheelchair, what is the difference between tilt and recline?

Tilt angles the seating surface while keeping the angle of the hips the same. Recline changes the angle of the hips, allowing the user to lean back or sit up straighter.

Tilt changes the angle of the user's hips by adjusting the backrest of the wheelchair. Recline keeps the user's hips in the same position, while pivoting the user's body backward.

Tilt and recline are exactly the same principle.
