3 NUTEC Innovative. Intelligent. Individual. People strive to position themselves as economically as possible. Conversely, those with postural and functional limitations cannot achieve and/or maintain an active, erect sitting posture for long periods. In order to make sitting easier for these people, an optimally adapted seating unit which compensates for the de cits of their bodies to the highest possible degree is required. With its modular system design NUTEC provides innovative solutions for seat shell construction. Complemented by the intelligent modules, the respective seat shell can be very precisely adapted to the individual requirements of the movement-limited person by NUTEC. In this manner NUTEC improves the degree of activity by means of correct and safe sitting, and thus also decisively improves their quality of life. In addition to the individual, therapeutic bene ts, self-suf ciency and social integration are promoted. NUTEC Otto Bock Mobility Solutions 3
