Mathias has had an electric harness retrofitted to his TA iQ wheelchair, as he is experiencing back fatigue. Mathias does not have the strength to maintain normal curves in his back while sitting. Without the electric harness, gravity will further affect the excessive curvature of the back over time, resulting in inappropriate strain on the body. The power harness was considered when Mathias was first given the wheelchair about 1.5 years ago, but only now has the need become significant.
