Anti-Rollback System for Wheelchairs

The AliMed Anti-Rollback System is a revolutionary safety feature designed for wheelchairs in the 16"-20" size range. This system is engineered to help minimize the risk of falls for patients with memory or cognitive issues who may inadvertently leave their wheelchairs unbraked. With its new sturdier design, the Anti-Rollback System offers peace of mind and enhanced security for both patients and caregivers.

Key Features:

• Automatic Wheel Locking: The system locks the rear wheels automatically when the patient begins to stand, preventing the wheelchair from rolling away and reducing the risk of falls.
• Optional Alarm: For an extra layer of safety, an optional alarm can be added, triggered by a switch linked to the seat lever, providing an audible alert in case of unauthorized movement.

The Anti-Rollback System is easy to use and does not require batteries, making it a cost-effective and convenient solution. It features a temporary override lever for disengaging the braking system when the wheelchair is unoccupied, ensuring that the chair can be easily moved or parked.

Practical Uses and Benefits

This Anti-Rollback System is particularly beneficial for high-fall-risk patients, as it addresses a common issue where patients with memory or cognitive impairments may forget to secure their wheelchair brakes. The weight-sensitive braking mechanism engages as the patient rises from the wheelchair, locking the wheels to prevent accidental movement. When the patient sits back down, the brake arms unlock automatically, allowing for seamless mobility. The system is compatible with wheelchairs that have a sling seat, ensuring that it does not interfere with the operation of wooden solid-seat inserts or drop seats. Periodic inspection is recommended to ensure proper adjustment and optimal performance.
