    Innovative "firsts" to keep kids safe
    The NXT is the first tilt-in-space wheelchair to have an attendant:
    • Drum braking system to help control speed, direction, and lock the wheels.
    • Hand control that both brakes and locks the wheels and tilts the frame.
    • Anti-tip with built in curb assist

    Continued innovations:

    As part of the ongoing development of features and options that make Freedom Designs a leader in complex mobility and seating and positioning solutions, The NXT is available with the following two features:


    LEAF (lower extremity accommodation frame). LEAF is a patent pending, optional seat frame designed to seat individuals with challenging leg positioning requirements like abduction, adduction and windswept legs. Where in the past, to accommodate difficulties like these, therapists and providers may have had to choose a frame that was greatly oversized. With LEAF, the size of the frame doesn’t have to change. An NXT with LEAF fits at the hips and fits at the knees and fits through doorways and in the trunk.


    MAPS (multi-axis positioning system) footrest. MAPS is an optional footrest system designed for fixed foot and ankle positioning needs. Simply put, it is a multi-axial hardware package that connects Freedom aluminum footrest plates to footrest hangers. When loosened, the hardware can pivot freely to accommodate any combination of plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, inversion or eversion. When the desired positioning is reached, the hardware is fastened and securely stays in place for consistent, dependable placement. In combination with LEAF, it is a total lower extremity positioning system.
