CF Back by ADI About the CF Back: Ergonomically designed, the CF Back promotes an upright posture, easing the strain on the lower back, by providing support at the posterior pelvis and trunk. The carbon fiber material is light weight. The CF Back is easily attached and can be mounted to the necessary height on the back posts of the wheelchair. CAUTION If you are able to fold the back canes, the CF back should be in the folded position when transporting the wheelchair, especially before loading for air travel. Protect the CF Back from blunt force shocks that may cause damage and/or breakage. Always check all hardware to make sure they are securely fastened, before using the CF Back. Do not attach the CF Back with the user in the chair. Do not use CF Back during vehicle transportation. The CF Back may not fit every chair; please consult your clinician or supplier providing your equipment.
