What is Dynamic Seating?

Dynamic Seating allows coordinated movement within a wheelchair. When the client moves, the dynamic seating components move with the client, maintaining alignment with the seating system for postural support and stability. Dynamic Rocker Backs, Dynamic Footrests, and Dynamic Head Support Hardware can be used individually, or in combination to meet a variety of needs including tone management, pain and injury reduction, improved function and more.

Who Benefits from Dynamic Seating?

If the client is pushing with force against the seating system, possibly resulting in injury, equipment damage, and loss of posture, Dynamic Seating diffuses forces, allowing movement without loss of alignment. If the client is seeking out movement, Dynamic Seating moves in response to client movement, often decreasing agitation and increasing alertness.
