The configurable Corpus seating system can be specified around your posture and daily routine. Available Active Reach tilts the seat forward by up to 20° to extend functional reach and help with transfers. Active Height can allow driving at up to 5km/h while fully elevated. The M5 is also available with Power Platform electronics and QuickConfig programming.

Seating, Controls and Clinical Support

The right powerchair is more than a choice of drive base. Our rehab product specialists assess seating, transfers, controls and the environments where you need to drive. Where appropriate, we can investigate specialist drive controls and compatible third-party cushions or back supports.

Our in-house Occupational Therapist can provide a separate clinical seating assessment and pressure mapping if further input is needed. We also collaborate with external OTs, physiotherapists and case managers. Following handover, our in-house engineers provide local servicing and repairs.

We support customers across Devon and Cornwall from our Launceston, Plymouth and Exeter branches.
