iShear

World’s first Total Shear Force measurement device

A tool to excellent seating
A solution to a global clinical challenge
Measure tendency to slide

DESCRIPTION

iShear is the first clinical tool to measure Total Shear Force* (tendency to slide) in the seat plane. It helps you minimize sliding forces when setting up a wheelchair. It can be used on almost every common wheelchair by placing it underneath the cushion. No change in the client-seat base interface is required. Once installed, you can use the free iShear app for real time data monitoring.

The setup is easy: all you need is iShear and the display. It’s shear genius. iShear is a valuable tool which helps you to evaluate the set up quality of a wheelchair’s seating system in any environment, location and situation.

*Total Shear Force: The Total Shear Force in the seat plane measured by the iShear is the anterior-posterior force
