The ergonomically designed ADI positioning backs systems ease the strain on the lower back during long, active days in a wheelchair by more equally distributing forces through the pelvic base of support, and good support naturally results in less pain.
ADI Seating products are designed for active individuals in lightweight wheelchairs who realise the importance of solid seating while demanding the lightest and strongest components available.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Stealth ADI wheelchair backrests?
Stealth ADI wheelchair backrests are lightweight, contoured back support systems designed to improve trunk stability, positioning and comfort for wheelchair users. Available in aluminium and carbon-fibre designs, the range offers different backrest heights and contour depths to accommodate different support requirements. ADI backrests can be configured with suitable mounting hardware and positioning accessories to create a setup tailored to the individual user.
What is the difference between ADI carbon-fibre and aluminium backrests?
ADI offers both carbon-fibre and aluminium backrests, allowing users and seating professionals to consider weight, contouring and support requirements when choosing a system.
-
Carbon-fibre backrests: Designed to provide a strong, lightweight option for active wheelchair users.
-
Aluminium backrests: Offer a lightweight, contoured support option in a range of heights and depths, including curved-top and flat-top designs.
The best option depends on the user’s wheelchair, desired level of support, activity level and individual positioning needs.
What contour depths are available for ADI wheelchair backrests?
ADI backrests are available in different contour depths to accommodate varying levels of lateral trunk support. Depending on the model, options include Active, Deep and Extra Deep contours. A shallower contour may suit users who need some support while retaining greater freedom of movement, while a deeper contour can provide more pronounced lateral positioning. The appropriate depth should be selected according to the user’s posture, trunk control and clinical requirements.
Can ADI backrests be adjusted to suit different wheelchair users?
Yes. ADI backrests are available in different widths and heights, with options for adjusting the mounting position, backrest angle and depth, depending on the hardware selected. Some models can also be configured with lateral supports to provide additional trunk positioning. These options help seating professionals tailor the backrest to the user’s body dimensions, posture and wheelchair setup.
Can ADI backrests be fitted to manual and powered wheelchairs?
ADI backrests are designed for use with compatible wheelchair frames, and selected models and mounting systems can be used with manual and powered wheelchairs. Certain Q-Back 2.0 configurations are designed to mount directly to compatible Quantum Rehab Tru-Balance seating systems. Other ADI backrests can use dedicated mounting hardware or adapter plates, depending on the wheelchair. Compatibility should always be confirmed for the specific backrest, wheelchair and mounting arrangement before ordering.
