Specialist Seating - Additional Aids Mobility

How to Choose Specialist Seating

It is advisable to carefully consider the user’s needs when choosing specialist seating. Different conditions will require differing features. For example, stroke patients may require additional flexibility so the chair can be altered to support rehabilitation while spina bifida sufferers will usually require fully adjustable backrests to maintain comfort and reduce pressure damage to tissue.

To ensure you purchase the correct specialist seating, begin by asking yourself the following:

How is the user transferred from the chair to a powerchair, wheelchair or bed?

Is the user able to sit up on their own? If so, for how long?

Will the user be able to change their position on their own?

Where and how is their discomfort experienced when sitting?

Is the user at risk of sliding out of a chair?

Will the user be able to operate the chair on their own?
