Strongback Mobility | Comfort 24+AB Wheelchair | Lightweight, Ergonomic Design for Superior Comfort and Control
At Alto Med Supply, we offer the Strongback Mobility Comfort Wheelchair, a manual wheelchair designed to provide supportive, comfortable seating while encouraging a more natural upright posture.
Its contoured backrest is integrated into the aluminum frame and follows the natural curve of the spine, providing targeted lumbar support without relying on a separate cushion.
This configurable wheelchair is available with two seat width options, a three-position rear axle, and standard attendant brakes to accommodate different users and mobility preferences.
The Comfort Wheelchair features an adjustable backrest designed to support the lower back and promote a more comfortable seated position.
Wide hook-and-loop straps allow the backrest tension to be adjusted across the back, helping users customize the level and location of lumbar support.
The backrest can be adjusted from -10 to +20 degrees, providing flexibility for individual positioning needs.
The Strongback Comfort has received design recognition, including a German Design Award in 2018 and a Good Design Award from The Chicago Athenaeum in 2023.
With two seat width options and a three-position rear axle, the Strongback Mobility Comfort Wheelchair can be configured to suit different users and handling preferences.
Moving the rear axle forward can provide more responsive maneuverability, while positioning it farther back can offer a more stable and forgiving setup.
Attendant brakes are integrated into both push handles, allowing a caregiver or attendant to apply the parking brake conveniently without reaching down toward the wheels.
The wheelchair is also designed for easier transportation and transfers.
Its quick-release rear wheels can be removed with the push of a button, while the footrests swing away and detach without tools to provide better access during transfers to beds, sofas, or vehicle seats.
Once the wheels and footrests are removed, the frame weighs approximately 16.1 lb, making it easier to lift and place into a vehicle.
Desk-length armrests provide clearance for positioning the wheelchair closer to tables and counters, while integrated clothing guards help keep clothing away from the wheels.
Built with a durable aluminum frame, the Strongback Mobility Comfort Wheelchair supports users weighing up to 300 lb (136 kg) and has been tested to ISO 7176-15 for static, impact, and fatigue loading.
Static stability is rated at a minimum of 7 degrees across all rear axle positions in accordance with ISO 7176-1.
The frame is backed by a 5-year warranty, providing long-term support for everyday mobility use.
