Axion Rotary Head Support Interface
The Axion is a Rotary Interface for wheelchair head supports which can be attached to most head supports and hardware. It allows head supports to freely rotate, improving the function of the user. Axion is applicable to those with limited head control, limited range of motion or field of vision. It is also applicable to those who frequently rotate their head against a head support.
The Axion Rotary Interface is quiet, free running and does not require lubrication. The range of rotation can be limited or stopped by means of a simple knob control. This allows the head support to be positioned at a fixed angle or be free running. Some drag may be introduced to slow the rotation, if desired. Usually the Axion will be used to allow free lateral rotation of the head with the head support. This permits the head to be fully supported by the head support as it rotates.
More Information
Users with muscle weakness
For users with muscle weakness, the Axion ensures they receive support from the head support as they rotate laterally.
Users who rub against a head support
For those with good muscle tone but who have a tendency to rub frequently against a head support, the Axion allows the head support to move with their head. This can reduce or eliminate the friction between the head and the head support, so reduces hair loss or abrasion of the head.Functional benefits of the Axion:
Choose amount of rotation required
The rotation available is 30° each direction for the Axion 60, and 45° each direction for the Axion 90.
Rail rotates with the head support
The rail rotates with the head support, while the base remains stationary underneath. The knob underneath allow locking at any position of the rotation.
Fits to most head supports
The Axion is compatible with a wide variety of head supports, and pairs particularly well to the Savant Head Support.
Support while turning head
The Axion allows the user to turn their head while maintaining full support from their head support. It follows the head freely as it rotates.
