The P-Compact FWD uses the "retroverticalization" patent.
Designed down to the smallest detail, it takes up less space when standing than when sitting (identical to the natural position) while maintaining excellent stability. For example, retroverticalization allows the use of a lift where other chairs cannot enter.
The ergonomic comfort of "biometric compensation"
By combining “biometric compensation” and “retroverticalization”, the “P-Compact” belongs to the most innovative generation of standing chairs.
The “biometric compensation” of the backrest and the leg rest means that their elongation is progressive and proportional to the movements of the body when changing position, in particular when moving from sitting to standing and vice versa. This ensures that the backrest glides smoothly and comfortably over the backrest. No pressure on the skin and no stretched clothing.
Common features
of the
P-Compact FWD chairs.
Like all PowerStand chairs, the P-Compact FWD traction model uses an articulated crossbar that smooths out uneven ground and provides unparalleled riding comfort.
Its latest-generation Dynamic LinX A400 electronics allow for numerous additions, either immediately or at a later date:
- remote control or control integrated into the tablet,
- attendant control unit,
- occipital control,
- chin control,
- IR remote…
Its two powerful 350-watt AMT SCHMID motors of German quality ensure its mobility.
Its 70-amp lithium battery provides a range of over 40 km and three times the number of charge cycles of traditional gel batteries, with half the weight.
Its headlights and indicators allow for safe night-time travel.
Inside, its reduced width allows it to pass easily through doors.
It has an electric leg rest as standard, but its biggest selling point is undoubtedly the permanent and simultaneous biometric adjustment of the backrest and leg rest. This means no more discomfort in the lower back and upper shoulders, which can cause clothing to shift when changing position.
P-COMPACT FWD traction
P-Compact FWD traction
Wheelchair particularly suited for indoor use thanks to a turning radius of 66 cm.
Ideal for indoor use in bathrooms, lifts, offices and kitchens, the traction version has been specially designed to be equally comfortable outdoors thanks to a gyroscope that helps maintain control when moving.
The large diameter of the front wheels makes it easier to negotiate obstacles, such as small steps or kerbs.
The P-COMPACT FWD in details
PECTORAL ARMREST
at a constant angle, whatever the inclination of the backrest, the armrest (with or without tablet) remains stable and horizontal. 4 integrated functions: comfort armrest, pectoral support, support for the bust in extension, safety in standing.
1 of 13ANTI-TIP WHEEL:
Retracted when seated to reduce the length of the chair, they automatically extend to the floor when standing up to ensure safety and stability at the front.
2 of 13HEAD-SUPPORT:
with ergonomic pad adjustment on 3 axes in height, depth and spacing.
3 of 13
CAR FASTENER :
secures the wheelchair during transport in a converted vehicle. Note: no passenger should be seated in the wheelchair when travelling.
4 of 13BACKREST:
choice of fabric or modular backrest and lateral support pads.
5 of 13
KNEE PAD:
adjustable along 3 axes (height – spacing – depth) to adapt to everyone’s knee.
with integrated anti-decubitus pad for better comfort.
REMOTE CONTROL :
the functions of movement, verticalization, inclination of the backrest, elevation of the leg, the speed variator, the indicators, the main beams and the horn are grouped together in the joystick manipulator.
7 of 13LEGREST :
bio-compensated offering better comfort
for verticalization.
With calf support pad which contributes to seating comfort.
8 of 13
FOOTREST :
Choice of single or double individually adjustable footrests.
Made of aluminium to prevent rusting.
Openwork design to allow water and debris to pass through.
Liftable for easy transfers and adjustable angle for foot comfort.
9 of 13
Cross Bar :
ensures a comfortable ride by absorbing 50% of road surface irregularities.
10 of 13
SWING AWAY :
retracts laterally in order to approach the tables as closely as possible.
Available right or left.
11 of 13CLOTHES GUARD :
Detachable for easy transfers, it prevents clothing from getting dirty during rolling and helps to keep the legs in the correct position.
12 of 13RETRO-STANDING:
In order to replicate the natural standing position as closely as possible, the flared shape of the frame combined with the kinematics of the P-Compact wheelchair enables ‘retroverticalisation’.
This means that the wheelchair takes up less space in the standing position than in the seated position, while offering maximum stability.

FAQ
This complicated name refers to a mechanical design that allows the backrest and/or legrest to follow the movements of the back and/or the extension of the legs when changing position, such as when sitting down or standing up.
In addition to the comfort it provides, it eliminates backrest slippage that pulls on clothing or legs that slip away from the footrests.
This is particularly important in the case of a multi-position chair that offers a wide range of possible positions.
With the P-Compact, all position changes benefit from the comfort of biometric compensation positioning.
