The Athena line of positioning wheelchairs is the ultimate seating solution for patient comfort and patient re-positioning. Our positioning wheelchairs are a great fit for anyone with limited mobility as they provide patients with an extremely comfortable wheelchair. The major difference between our Athena Elite and Athena Bridge are their re-positioning capabilities. The first The Athena Elite is equipped with both tilt-in-space and recline capabilities. Our Athena Bridge Wheelchair on the other hand only comes with a tilt-in-space feature. Both the tilt-in-space and recline features allow caregivers a way to keep patients safely in their wheelchairs, without the use of restraints. This is due to the ability of the chair to slightly tilt or recline into a position where the patient is unlikely to fall out of their wheelchair. The Athena Bridge is available in a much larger range of widths than the Athena Elite, including bariatric size options.
