Tarta Wheelchair Backrest flexible back
The Tarta Wheelchair Backrest is a flexible wheelchair back from Italy built like a spine with ribs. A central column of 4, 5 or 6 vertebrae carries pairs of padded ribs, and each segment can be adjusted on its own to follow the user's shape. Because it is modular, the length can be changed later. The pads are washable foam covered in a breathable technical fabric, with open space between them.
