I am permanently wheel chair bound and currently have a Pride Air2 electric one but I have started to lean to the right and my legs are splaying with my right leg going under the armrest which is very uncomfortable. Does anyone have any suggestions of a way forward?

    Hi @roberto54 and a warm welcome to the community from me!

    Have you been able to have recent wheelchair assessment since you started feeling uncomfortable? If not, it’s worth contacting them and let them know that your posture has changed and it's making your wheelchair uncomfortable. They should be able to find ways of supporting you and adjusting your chair to help reduce the pain.

    It's lovely having you here and I look forward to seeing you around the community😊
