Axiom PXPL Pediatric Back Support

The Axiom PXPL back is Ki Mobility's pediatric posterior-lateral wheelchair back support for Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. Ki forms the aluminum shell for smaller torsos, with fixed laterals and an included lumbar pad. 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 PXPL as the formed kids shell. DEX for Kids hardware is standard, with a lockout latch. A seating therapist names PXPL versus the adjustable Axiom PXAL or the contour-wing Axiom PXALCL before we order.

Who this back is for

The Axiom PXPL back fits a child whose therapist wants formed laterals already placed on the shell, not swing-away pads. Pair it with a kids Axiom cushion and a growth chair such as the Little Wave Clik or the Little Wave XP. Ki's brochure prints a configured example: a 12 inch Little Wave Clik with an Axiom for Kids PL back at 15.8 lbs (7.2 kg).

• Formed laterals and a lumbar pad
• 10 to 16 inch widths, 10 to 18 inch heights
• 165 lb (75 kg) rating

Growth, laterals, 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 cover is breathable and wipeable. Formed laterals on the PXPL do not have the plus 2 / minus 1 inch pad travel that PXAL and PXALCL offer.

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 so backpacks and curious fingers are less likely to release the back. An audible click confirms it is locked. We do not invent a hardware picker.

Axiom PXPL 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 PXPL is ordered

A seating therapist measures the child's trunk width and torso height and decides whether formed laterals are enough. 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 PXPL back is the formed kids posterior-lateral shell. The Axiom PXAL adds a planar panel with fixed or swing-away laterals. The Axiom PXALCL adds contour lateral wings. 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.

Westin's own team delivers this kids wheelchair back support across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area once the shell is built. We bring it in, check the hardware against the chair canes, and show you the lockout latch before we leave.
