Description
Ki Mobility Axiom Deep Lateral Back is the deepest contoured back support in the Axiom line: a lightweight aluminium shell formed to 6 in (15.2 cm) of lateral profile.
Who it suits
- The maker describes it as maximum lateral positioning support "with a more open profile for a more neutral spine position".
- It suits a rider who needs the most trunk support here; the Lateral Back and the Posterior Lateral carry less.
- A seating assessment by an occupational therapist or physiotherapist settles the contour and hardware.
Which size fits your wheelchair?
- The maker's order form lists these 26 width and height pairs, from 12 x 14 in to 22 x 22 in. Choose the width and the height on this page.
- It is not a full grid and there is no Low height here: the 12 in wide shell stops at 20 in high, and the 22 in wide shell starts at 14 in.
Order codes

How is it built?
- The shell is formed by the maker's Fulcrum bending process, which Ki Mobility says makes it stiffer than roll forming.
- It adjusts 2 in in width, 3.3 in in height, 1.5 in in depth and 20 degrees in angle.
- Hardware is included: DEX, BTX or FXT, and LWX is not offered here. The rating follows the hardware: 300 lb (136 kg) on DEX or FXT and 400 lb (181 kg) on BTX.
- The foam is 1.3 in (3.3 cm) thick, over nylon spandex and a waterproof membrane layer.
Covers and care
- Unzip the cover, roll out the foam and zip it closed first.
- Wash the cover in hot water at 60 C, then line dry or tumble with no heat. Never bleach or dry clean it. Backs sit in our wheelchair backrest range.
