Spex Stylo Head Support

The Spex Stylo Head Support is Sunrise Medical's Spex head support for Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. Sunrise writes it for long reach and strong ball-and-socket joints when the pad has to sit away from the back or off centre.

This is a quote-only configured head support. The mounting block bolts to the back support. It is not a Whitmyer PLUSH pad on Axys hardware.

Who this head support is for

Sunrise writes Stylo for a person whose therapist needs the pad farther from the back, or offset, because of trunk shape. A seating therapist should confirm Stylo 160 or Stylo 260. This page does not give clinical positioning advice.

• Stylo 160: 160 mm forward reach
• Stylo 260: 260 mm forward reach
• Up to 270 degrees of angle on the ball mount

Stem, pad, and mount hardware

The Spex Stylo Head Support uses extended links and ball-and-socket joints. The machined aluminium stem has two flat edges so it does not rotate. Extra-strong clamps are how Sunrise describes lateral lock-up. The owner's manual prints a 400 lb (180 kg) maximum user weight. Hardware ships loose. The mounting block bolts to the back support. This is not a cane clamp unless a specific adaptor is on the order. We do not invent a cane diameter for Stylo.

Spex Stylo Head Support specifications

These figures are from the current Canadian Stylo card and the Spex Stylo owner's manual. The CA spec table itself is empty of numerics. The specification tab holds the stored values.

Forward reach 160 mm (Stylo 160) or 260 mm (Stylo 260). Angle adjustment up to 270 degrees. Maximum user weight 400 lbs (180 kg) in the owner's manual.

Warranty in the Stylo manual is 24 months for the original purchaser. The removable cover sits outside that term.

Which wheelchair head support

Stay with the Spex Stylo Head Support if long reach and a Spex stem are the brief. The Whitmyer PLUSH Head Support is Sunrise's basic posterior pad. The Whitmyer S.O.F.T. Single adds an independent occipital pad. The Whitmyer Heads Up adds anterior arms.

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.
