BACK SHELL DESIGN
- Anthropometric data was used to understand how torso shape changes as height and width change to create the best possible fit from the fewest number of shapes. Axiom Backs are designed with a lightweight aluminum shell that is formed into your choice of 4 different contour shapes and 3 levels of height support options, providing optimal trunk stability and a personalized fit. Our bend forming process produces a back shell that is stiffer and stronger than those produced with typical roll forming.
- Dual mounting slots for mounting hardware offer varied and versatile hardware placement designed to accommodate a wider range of back to wheelchair size integration. Hardware options that offer up to 2” of width difference between the back and the wheelchair are available.
- Back height is adjustable independently of mounting hardware height placement offering a greater degree of placement and fitting options on the wheelchair back.
PB BACK - Formed to offer a 2.25” lateral profile (curve) with an included adjustable lumbar pad, providing posterior back shape to position the lumbar spine. The Posterior Back (PB) allows for freedom of movement for daily activities while providing stabile and secure torso positioning. Posterior Backs are available in Low and Mid height support levels.
PL BACK - Formed to offer a 3.65” lateral profile (curve) with an included adjustable lumbar pad, providing posterior back shape to position the lumbar spine. The Posterior Lateral Back (PL) provides additional lateral positioning support for those in need of a moderate positioning back. Posterior Lateral Backs are available in Low, Mid and Tall height support levels.
DL BACK - 6.0” of lateral profile (curve), offers the highest amount of shaped lateral contour in the Axiom Back lineup. The Deep Lateral Back (DL) provides maximum lateral positioning support with a more open profile for a more neutral spine position. Deep Lateral Backs are available in Mid and Tall height support levels.
LATERAL BACK - Formed to offer the same 3.65” of lateral profile (curve), but without a lumbar pad, leaving the center of the back shell more planar. The Lateral Back (LB) provides moderate lateral positioning support with a more open profile for a more neutral spine position. Lateral Backs are available in Low, Mid and Tall height support levels.

Private Clients and Families
Paragon Mobility is committed to supporting positive outcomes for people who rely on complex wheelchairs and specialised assistive technology. While we do not supply products directly to end users, we work closely with our National Dealer Network and healthcare professionals to provide the product expertise, technical knowledge and ongoing support that contribute to effective assistive technology prescriptions.
Our role is to support the people and organisations responsible for assessing, prescribing, supplying and maintaining equipment. Through comprehensive product information, configuration guidance, technical assistance, education and troubleshooting support, we help our partners ensure that products are appropriately selected and configured to meet each end user’s individual functional needs, environment, lifestyle and goals.
Paragon Mobility also supports the prescription process by providing access to product knowledge, trial equipment and specialist advice, helping dealers and clinicians evaluate whether a proposed solution is appropriate before final prescription. This collaborative approach can reduce the risk of inappropriate equipment selection and improve the long-term efficacy of prescribed solutions.
Following supply, we remain available to our dealer partners with technical and product support throughout the equipment lifecycle.
Ultimately, our objective is to work behind the scenes as a trusted product specialist, supporting our partners so that end users receive effective, appropriate and sustainable assistive technology solutions.
Assistive Technology Suppliers

Our focus extends beyond simply supplying equipment. We work collaboratively with dealers to understand the clinical objectives of a prescription and assist in identifying appropriate product features and configuration options that align with the client’s functional needs, environment, lifestyle and individual goals. This helps improve prescription efficacy and reduces the potential for inappropriate or poorly configured equipment.
Through ongoing product education, technical support and sharing of practical application knowledge, we aim to strengthen the expertise of our dealer network and support consistent best-practice outcomes nationally. Making doing business is not a tag line. It is a reality for us.

AT Prescribers
Paragon Mobility works collaboratively with Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists to support the prescription of complex wheelchairs and specialised assistive technology, with a strong focus on achieving positive, sustainable outcomes for clients.

Our team supports our prescriber base by providing detailed product knowledge, equipment demonstrations, clinical trial support and education across a broad range of complex mobility and assistive technology solutions.
Through collaborative equipment trials with our agent network, Paragon Mobility can assist therapists in evaluating product features, configuration options and real-world performance. This helps provide evidence that the proposed solution is appropriate, effective and aligned with the client’s functional requirements, environment and expected outcomes.
Our commitment to education extends beyond individual prescriptions. By sharing product updates, technical knowledge and practical application insights, we aim to strengthen therapists’ confidence when considering available assistive technology solutions.
