individual needs.

to provide extra comfort and protection.

The Invacare Matrx MX1 back includes a movable foam lumbar pad that can be installed/inserted behind the existing foam cushion to provide additional

positioning capability. Refer to Installing/Adjusting the Lumbar Support on page 25 for instructions on how to insert and adjust your lumbar support.
