In order to obtain high performance, the wheelchair should be as rigid as possible. Flexibility, even a small amount, means a loss of energy and consequently a loss of performance. Wheelchair athletes,particularly racers,basketball,rugby and tennis players are always looking for higher performance. They found that wheelchairs for sport should consist of as few frame parts as possible. Fewer components means higher rigidity, increased overall strength and a reduction in the loss of transmitted force. This results in increased performance. HYBRID HIGH PERFORMANCE DAILY-USE AND SPORT WHEELCHAIRS MINIMAL, MODULAR, CUSTOM MADE AND STRONG • • • • lower frame seat frame camberbar footrest category 4 low 4 Ultima • frame • camberbar • footrest category 3 • frame • camberbar category 2 performance (propulsion efficiency) Number of frameparts 3 Hi-Lite Performance Maxima Style 2 Quattro Grand Slam Quattro Rugby Quattro Tennis Hi-Lite 3 • monoframe (including seat) and integrated camberbar category 1 high 1 Predator Interceptor For these reasons folding frame chairs are no longer used in wheelchair sport.We can now also see a change in "rigid" frame chair design (see above matrix). Recent years have seen a change from rigid frame chairs with box frames, axle plates and adjustable castor pots (category 6) to high performance chairs with minimal rigid frames, camber bars and integrated castor pots (category 3). There is no doubt that daily use chair design follows the developments made in sports chairs. When the old box frame (category 6) chairs were no longer favoured for sport they were adopted as daily use chairs. Hence, what was known as a sports wheelchair evolved into a daily use chair with just a few simple changes and the addition of options which include folding backrest, larger castor wheels, brakes, side guards/armrests, push handles etc. As the quest for increased performance in sport continued,athletes shifted to using category 2 chairs: the footrest is moved inside the frame and the front of the chair is welded to become an integral part of the half box frame. Category 2 chairs consist of a half box frame and camber bar.With only 2 frame modules,this is the number one choice of most basketball,rugby and tennis players. The evolution of the sports chair into category 2 saw the move of daily use chairs into category 3, typically with a minimal frame for ease of transportation. www.rgk-wheelchairs.co.uk For many years racing wheelchairs have used the ultimate design, whereby the camber bar is fully integrated into the frame. This category 1 design ensures optimum transmission of power between user and wheelchair, with the added benefit of a reduction in weight.This design is now used by other athletes in basketball, rugby and tennis and experience suggests that the category 1 chair will also become the ultimate daily use chair. Conclusion 01543 670077 At RGK we fully believe in the style, quality and high performance design of our product range. With literally thousands of current customers, it seems that they feel the same way. From the exceptional capabilities of our Category 1 chairs, to the flexibility and performance of our everyday range, we will continue to develop and build arguably the best chairs in the world.
