Empowering Mobility with Customization
The Positioning Platform Chair (PPC) embodies Gunnell, Inc.’s commitment to providing highly customized mobility solutions. Each PPC is meticulously engineered and handcrafted to meet the precise needs of the seating professional and the client, especially those with limited or no flexion. With its capability for anterior tilt, the PPC opens up new possibilities for individuals who might otherwise be confined to bed, allowing them to engage more fully with the world around them. Gunnell’s patented lateral tilt can be added, tilting the platform side to side to fine-tune the patient’s center of gravity.

Questions about the Positioning Platform Chair
All frequently asked questionsWhat is a platform chair for?
Patients who cannot sit in a wheelchair: fixed contractures, severe scoliosis or kyphosis, extensor tone, or conditions that make a 90° hip angle impossible. It gets them out of bed, tilted for pressure relief and moving around the facility.
How is it different from a geri chair?
A geri chair is a stock recliner on wheels. The Positioning Platform Chair is built to the patient’s measurements and body angles, tilts 45° anteriorly and posteriorly, carries 400 lb and is serviced by the factory that made it.
What does the order need?
The therapist’s hip-to-back and knee angles (static or dynamic), platform width, the back, seat and leg lengths, the platform height and the tilt split. Gunnell builds the chair to those numbers.
Can it be rebuilt if the patient changes?
Yes. Gunnell builds and services its own chairs and will do just about any custom modification that is needed.
How long does it take?
Each chair is built to specification, so the lead time is stated with the quote.
