Axiom PXALCL Pediatric Back Support

The Axiom PXALCL back is Ki Mobility's pediatric adjustable back with contour laterals for Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. Contour wings hug smaller torsos and move in width and height as the child grows. Widths run 10 to 16 inches (25.4 to 40.6 cm) and heights 10 to 18 inches (25.4 to 45.7 cm). Ki rates it at 165 lbs (75 kg). This is a quote-only kids back, built after a seating assessment.

Ki writes the PXALCL as exclusive to Axiom for Kids. DEX for Kids hardware is standard, with a lockout latch. A seating therapist names PXALCL versus the formed Axiom PXPL or the pad-style Axiom PXAL before we order.

Who this back is for

The Axiom PXALCL back fits a child whose therapist wants contour lateral wings on an adjustable shell, not a formed one-piece PXPL and not flat pads. Pair it with a kids Axiom cushion and a growth chair such as the Little Wave Clik or the Little Wave Arc.

• Contour lateral wings, width and height adjustable
• Laterals plus 2 in / minus 1 in
• 165 lb (75 kg) rating

Growth, contour wings, and DEX for Kids

The smart shell fits wheelchair widths plus or minus 1 inch. Hardware depth is 2 inches standard and 4 inches with the optional extension. Angle is plus or minus 20 degrees. Height adjustability is 3.3 inches. Foam thickness is 1 inch. The contour wings move so the therapist can put support where it is needed now and again later. Brochure lateral travel is plus 2 inches and minus 1 inch.

DEX for Kids is the standard mount. The brochure prints a fit of 3/4 inch to 1-1/8 inch tube diameter with no adaptors. A lockout latch is built in. An audible click confirms it is locked. We do not invent a hardware picker.

Axiom PXALCL Pediatric Back specifications

These figures are from Ki Mobility's current Axiom for Kids Backs card, brochure DCN1171.1, and the kids back owner's manual. The specification tab holds the stored values. We do not invent a size picker on this page.

How a PXALCL is ordered

A seating therapist measures the child's trunk and decides how the contour wings should sit. Westin maps that to a 10 to 16 by 10 to 18 inch shell and DEX for Kids hardware that matches the chair canes. That work happens in a fitting, not on a product page.

Which Axiom wheelchair back fits

The Axiom PXALCL back is the kids contour-wing shell. The Axiom PXPL is the formed shell with a lumbar pad. The Axiom PXAL is the planar panel with optional fixed or swing-away pads. Adult stock shells start at the Axiom PB Back. Matching kids seats are the Axiom PXP and Axiom PXSP. Pair the back with a Little Wave Clik, Arc, XP, or Flip, or with the live Rogue XP or Spark.

Funding help for a wheelchair cushion or back support in Ontario

This cushion or back support is an ADP positioning device category item. Ontario's Assistive Devices Program (ADP) can fund 75% of the cost of positioning devices such as cushions and back supports when they are prescribed through an assessment by an ADP-registered occupational therapist or physiotherapist with an eligible mobility device, and some income-support programs cover the full cost. Not every product qualifies, so talk to us before you buy. March of Dimes Canada, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), and community programs can also help. Westin Healthcare's staff work with these programs every week and will point you to the right route for your situation. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 to talk it through.
