The Engage APOD® provides advanced positioning support and skin protection for people who are unable to independently maintain an upright seated position in their wheelchair by combining the structure of orthotics with principles of wheelchair seating.
The Engage APOD® biomechanically aligns the hips and pelvis to address the etiology of medium to severe wheelchair positioning abnormalities to reduce restraints, falls, pressure injuries, aspiration, pain, and re-hospitalizations. Upright and midline positioning is maintained to engage the user both physically and psycho-socially to improve safety, comfort, and dignity.

Base |
Anthropometrically designed rigid base creates a secure pre-ischial shelf to stabilize the pelvis. Weight is redistributed over a larger surface area to reduce pressure over ischial tuberosities, coccyx, and sacrum |
Anterior Bolsters |
Anterior height varies from 3-5.5 inches
The anterior bolster height encourages the desired degree of hip flexion to minimize sliding forward |
Medical-Grade Foam |
Medical-grade visco and high-density foams are shaped to create a pelvic well posteriorly to promote a neutral pelvis and upright midline position, while still allowing for sage, functional transfers |
