Forward Slope Option
By flipping a lever on the side of the chair, the seat pan is placed in a 10 degree forward slope (the @Home model has a three position slant seat range of 0, 5, and 10 degrees). This option has two primary uses. First, it provides a significant margin of safety for the newly implanted hip. In combination with the adjustable back, hip angles close to 70 degrees are achievable. Second, for people who must sit in a chair for long periods, adjusting the seat pan and backrest will help prevent the lower back from becoming stiff.
