Specialized Seating:
In specialized seating, our aim is to increase your independence, comfort, health and quality of life. We do this by providing correct seating for you.
Correct seating will:
Enhance your breathing and digestion
Improve your posture and comfort
Improve your skin health
Increase your function and productivity
Minimise pain and discomfort
Promote your independence
We carry out a seating assessment and we make recommendations to address your concerns and to support you to achieve your goals. We design and model customised seats, mobility devices and postural systems for you and we recommend solutions to meet your needs.
What we need to find out during a seating assessment:
We need to find out about you and your lifestyle, so that we can select the best seating system for you. You, your therapists and your family and carers are important in this process.
We need to learn about:
Your goals. What wheelchair and options can help you best meet your personal goals?
Your health. We review your posture, body weight, pain type and severity, severity of your spasticity, bladder and bowel management, and pressure ulcer history.
Your function. The proper equipment can make your life easier and enhance your daily living activities.
Your environment. We try to find a wheelchair that fits more easily into your environment.
Any transportation issues
Transferring to and from your wheelchair at home and other environments
