NEW: iCHAIR SKY
The iCHAIR SKY is especially suited for users with changing medical conditions and more severe functional disorders. Thanks to its ingenious design, the iCHAIR SKY enables independent mobility with excellent ergonomics for permanent, all-day use both indoors and out. The ideal solution for users with:
| tetraplegia | |
| traumatic brain injury or advanced stage muscular disorders such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy | |
| advanced multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy and spina bifida |
Andrea Sahlmen
The cheerful 26-year-old has had muscular dystrophy since birth and is dependent on a wheelchair. After graduating from high school and studying, she is now an editor at the Neue Westfälische newspaper in Bielefeld. Writing and SC Paderborn football club are Andrea’s greatest passions, and in 2014 she wrote the book “111 reasons to love SC Paderborn” (111 Gründe, den SC Paderborn zu lieben). Her hobbies also include city breaks and travelling - and when the travel bug really bites, Andrea knows no bounds! In 2017, after weeks of preparation, she embarked on a three-week adventure to Peru in South America.
For Andrea, there’s no such word as “can’t”, and we can attest to that. With its numerous functions, the iCHAIR SKY is an ideal companion for the determined fighter.
Stand on the safe side
Upon final assembly, all MEYRA wheelchairs are tested in terms of functioning and safety. Performance on uneven ground, inclines and declines is tested on a test track, in addition to speed and braking distance. Besides the required stress and reliability tests, MEYRA carries out tests going beyond the statutory specifi cations, with increased load and additional crash tests.
Long lifespan – high durability
The use of high-quality materials and certifi ed safety guarantees a long service life for the iCHAIR SKY. The easily convertible design enables the wheelchair to be quickly adapted for reuse.

Individually adapted
The iCHAIR SKY guarantees perfect adjustment by memorising the individual start and end settings as well as individually preferred positions (e.g. care position or sleep/relax position). The standing curve can also be adapted individually – for a comfortable and medically correct pattern of movement at all times.

The central electric legrest and the back system are fi tted with ergonomically correct electronic adjustment. The legrest is adjusted automatically from 95° to 170°, while length compensation ensures the optimum alignment of the footplate to the corresponding position. The headrest, likewise biomechanical, is another outstanding feature of the iCHAIR SKY’s multifunctional seat unit.
INTELLIGENT ADJUSTMENT KEYPAD
An external 5-key adjustment keypad can be set individually with all functions as required by the customer or the medical condition.
THE RIGHT POSITIONING
Standing, lying, sitting – the simple, intuitive control system enables quick changes in position. The 200 mm seat lift and 40° tilt are standard features.
