Abstract: A support system for use with a wheelchair seat back provides support for the pelvic area of a wheelchair occupant. The support system comprises a base plate mountable to a wheelchair seat back, and a base layer adhered to the based plate. The base plate is dimensioned and configured to substantially span and conform to the wheelchair seat back. A front surface of the base layer comprises a fastening element for mounting additional layers, or pelvis-conforming blocks, to the base layer.

Abstract: Support mechanisms are provided for use with a wheelchair pelvic support system generally having a base plate with opposite support wings and a central base between the support wings. A pelvis support mechanism comprises a notched support pad engageable with the base plate and pelvis-conforming blocks of a pelvic support system. The notched support pads comprise a soft and resiliently compressible material. One or more notches are provided in the compressible material. A fastening element is provided between the compressible material and the base plate of the pelvic support system for attaching the compressible material to the base plate of the pelvic support system.
