Seating & Positioning / JAY / Upper Body Positioning / Swing-Away Lateral Thoracic Supports

Swing-Away Lateral Thoracic Supports

Improving trunk control and lateral stability to help maintain proper posture.

To enhance lateral support beyond the depth of a JAY back, the JAY Swing-Away Lateral Thoracic Supports can be added. These are designed for riders who may have a postural tendency to lean towards the side and respond positively to having extended support. Two styles are available to meet specific needs. The standard JAY Swing-Away Lateral Thoracic Support provides additional depth where it is placed on the JAY back support. The Rotational style will pivot to an angle that can better match a body curve, providing surface area support exactly where needed. Three points of control at the trunk and pelvis can assist with providing the forces needed to assist with postural support.
