The versatility of this wheelchair is due to its modular design with versatile equipment options. Typical use would
be for patients with walking impediments/inability due to:

• Loss of limbs (lower limb amputation)
• Defective / deformed limbs
• Joint contractures / defects
• Diseases like cardiac/circulatory insufficiency, balance disorders or cachexia or for geriatric patients
who still employ usable residual strength in the upper limbs.
The Avantgarde was specially designed for individuals who are able to independently move in a wheelchair and
individuals who are dependent on the permanent use of a wheelchair.
Fitting considerations:
• Body height and weight (maximal load is 90 kg)
• Physical and psychological limitations
• Age and sex of the user
