What is a modification and what is an adjustment? What does it mean anyways?
At a high level the major differences between an adjustment and a modification is:
Adjustments | Modifications |
---|---|
Tightening/repositioning a headrest | Changing the width of a chair (if requires new parts) |
Adjusting the angle of a backrest or back canes if the product allows | Requesting waterfall armrests when the wheelchair has full length armrests |
Lengthening legrests | Changing from plastic footplates to aluminum angle adjustable footplates |
Raising the STF if parts are not required (usually up to 1” of change can be accomplished without parts) | Changing STF if parts are needed (i.e. changing caster and wheel sizes. |
Changing the dump in the wheelchair | Changing casters/wheels from solid polyurethane to air inserts |
Changing center of gravity (if applicable to chair) | Changing the back canes on a chair (taller or shorter) |
