People who rely on a wheelchair for daily mobility, whether for a lifetime or during a rehabilitation period, depend on that chair for far more than transportation. The chair affects mobility, comfort, and long-term health outcomes. Ki Mobility built its brand around ultra-lightweight and rigid-frame wheelchairs, tilt-in-space systems, and Dynaform seating and positioning accessories, developed in close collaboration with rehabilitation clinicians, therapists, and wheelchair users.
At MediDepot, we carry the core Ki Mobility product lines: ultra-lightweight folding wheelchairs, rigid performance chairs, tilt-in-space systems, and the complete Dynaform seating and positioning accessory range.

Ki Mobility Product Lines at MediDepot
Catalyst 5 and Catalyst 5Vx: Ultra-Lightweight Folding Wheelchairs (K0005)
The Catalyst 5 has a transport weight of 12.8 lb and a full chair weight of 20.8 lb with footrests, well below the K0005 weight limit, with a standard weight capacity of 300 lb. The frame uses 7000 series aircraft-grade aluminum for maximum strength at minimal weight. The Power X-Hinge system uses dual interlocking cross braces for a rigid, responsive ride without relying on the seat sling, and the patented swing-away footrest hangers allow attachment or detachment from any direction. Multiple seat width and depth options accommodate a range of body types and clinical needs, and the chair carries HCPCS K0005 compliance for Medicare reimbursement of ultra-lightweight wheelchairs.
The Catalyst 5Vx shares the Power X-Hinge and 7000 series aluminum construction, at 13.9 lb, with a Vx frame that lets clinicians position the rear axle at multiple points to fine-tune center of gravity, seat-to-floor height, propulsion performance, and functional reach for long-term users.
Rogue and Rogue ALX: Rigid Ultra-Lightweight Wheelchairs
The Rogue series uses a rigid frame that eliminates cross-brace joints for optimal pushing efficiency. The Rogue ALX weighs just 11.2 lb, among the lightest rigid wheelchairs available, with roughly 20% greater stiffness and responsiveness than comparable rigid systems. The 1-3/8 inch aluminum tubing frame provides durable, responsive performance for users who need precise control during active use, with multiple configuration options suited to community activities, sports, and recreation.
Focus CR: Tilt-in-Space Wheelchair
The Focus CR is the only adult tilt-in-space wheelchair with two-handed tilt control for caregivers, operated through a toggle for quiet, smooth power tilt. It includes 8 precision-sealed bearings backed by a lifetime warranty for maintenance-free, extended durability. The tilt-in-space function helps manage complex postural needs by reducing pressure, shear forces, and tone, and supports users who need frequent repositioning to prevent pressure injuries. It works with the full range of Dynaform seating and positioning accessories, and suits patients in long-term care as well as those undergoing neurological rehabilitation for spinal cord injury, ALS, MS, or cerebral palsy.
Dynaform Seating and Positioning Accessories
The Dynaform Foot Positioner uses a three-point ankle attachment with side-release buckles, a solid plastic base for stability, and Lycra/Nylon-covered Neoprene padding for comfort; the toe strap positions the foot while protecting it. The Dynaform 3-Point Ankle Positioner (K0108) provides clinical-grade ankle control for tone spasticity or involuntary movement patterns, with side-release buckles for easy donning and doffing.
The Dynaform Posture Support uses Lycra and Nylon-covered Neoprene to mold to body shape while allowing free movement, with adjustable D-ring straps for a personalized fit. The Dynaform Posture Support Slim Cut and Dynaform Y-Style Posture Support extend this line with a slimmer profile and a Y-shaped design that supports the front trunk with adjustable shoulder straps for specific trunk-control requirements. Each accessory connects directly to Ki Mobility wheelchair frames as part of a complete, clinician-specified seating system.
Ki Mobility and HCPCS Compliance for Reimbursement
Ki Mobility products are engineered and documented to support HCPCS coding workflows:
- K0005 (Ultra-Lightweight Manual Wheelchair): the Catalyst 5 and Catalyst 5Vx meet the weight and construction standards for this reimbursement category
- K0108 (Wheelchair Component or Accessory): Dynaform positioning accessories, including the 3-Point Ankle Positioner, receive K0108 coding
- Functional Mobility Assessment (FMA) support: Ki Mobility documentation helps clinicians establish medical necessity for K0005 reimbursement
- Durability documentation: technical specifications and testing data support Letters of Medical Necessity (LMN) and prior authorization requests
Clinical Applications for Ki Mobility Products
- Spinal cord injury rehabilitation: ultra-lightweight and rigid-frame options support active propulsion and energy conservation for patients transitioning to community mobility
- Stroke and neurological rehabilitation: tilt-in-space and positioning accessories manage tone, support upright posture, and support participation in therapy and daily activities
- Multiple sclerosis and ALS: Dynaform posture and positioning supports help manage progressive weakness and maintain alignment as function changes
- Cerebral palsy and pediatric mobility: Dynaform foot and ankle positioners address spasticity and equinus positioning needs in active children and adults
- Orthopedic and post-surgical recovery: lightweight folding chairs support temporary mobility needs with easy transport and caregiver management
- Long-term care and assisted living: Focus CR and positioning accessories address pressure management, postural decline, and comfort for residents with complex needs
