RIDE Java Back
Pressure relief & moderate support
The Java Back’s patented biomechanical design provides the flexibility to easily and independently optimize pelvic support and balance the trunk, supporting the normal rhythm and movement of the body.
The user experiences comfort and stability at rest, and no interference with function and mobility.
The Java Back is most effective when coupled with a Ride® wheelchair cushion to aid in postural control and help reduce risk for tissue injury.
The Decaf Back shares all the adjustable features of the Java Back, plus a few extras, to meet the specific needs of growing and developing children.
ADJUSTS TO FIT UNIQUE CONTOURS
Most other back supports are flat from top to bottom. Attempts to adjust a flat wheelchair back with accessories can result in loss of seat depth and compromised trunk contact and support.
In contrast, the Java Back can be flexed specifically to support the unique contours of the user’s body without loss of seat depth and to provide accurate supportive contact through the pelvis, lumbar and thoracic spine.
OFFERS WIDTH, HEIGHT, AND DEPTH OPTIONS FOR BEST FIT
The Java Back is available in multiple widths, in three heights and two depths.
Back heights are regular (below scapulae), tall (mid-scapulae), and grande (top of shoulder), all in depths of either three or six inches.
ADJUSTS EASILY FOR QUICK, ACCURATE FITTING
Height, depth, angle, pelvic support, and trunk balance can all be adjusted independently.
The simple, compact Java Back quick-release hardware offers 20 degrees of back angle adjustability, two inches of seat depth adjustability, and two inches of back width adjustability.
Only the Ride Custom Back, which can be made to fit virtually any size and contour, provides greater accuracy of fit.
ATTACHES SIMPLY FOR EASY DAILY USE
The Java Back is lightweight and easily removed from the wheelchair, even with limited hand function.
A robust locking mechanism safely secures the back to the wheelchair, yet is easy to release.
HELPS IMPROVE HEAT AND MOISTURE BUILDUP
A spacer fabric cover promotes air circulation and wicks moisture away from the back for improved comfort and sitting tolerance.

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
Paragon Mobility works closely with our National Dealer Network to support the delivery of complex wheelchairs and specialised assistive technology that achieves positive, sustainable outcomes for clients.
We recognise that successful assistive technology prescription relies on our dealer partners having access to comprehensive product knowledge, technical expertise and ongoing education. Paragon Mobility supports our partners with detailed product information, configuration guidance, product demonstrations, training and practical education designed to build confidence throughout the assessment, trial and prescription process.
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. With back end systems that allow us to be able to process faster, Paragon aims to provide the best customer experience possible, from our dealer network through to the end user.
Ultimately, Paragon Mobility seeks to be more than a supplier. We strive to be a knowledgeable and trusted partner, empowering our dealers to confidently deliver effective assistive technology solutions and achieve meaningful, long-term outcomes for the clients they support.
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.
We recognise that effective assistive technology prescription requires access to accurate product information, practical experience and an understanding of how different solutions can address an individual client’s functional needs and goals. 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.
Ultimately, Paragon Mobility seeks to be a trusted resource for Therapists, combining product expertise with a collaborative approach to help improve prescription efficacy, reduce the risk of inappropriate equipment selection and deliver meaningful, long-term outcomes for clients.
