Dynamic Seating for Wheelchairs – Dynamic Components in Motion

September 28, 2018 |

Seating Dynamics offers a Dynamic Rocker Back Interface, Dynamic Footrests and Dynamic Head Support Hardware which are compatible with most manual and power wheelchairs. These add-on wheelchair components provide and support movement within a wheelchair throughout the body.

Dynamic Seating serves as a solution to a variety of wheelchair seating challenges and can help:

To protect the client from injury
To protect wheelchair and seating hardware from breakage
To increase sitting tolerance and compliance
To provide vestibular input
To provide active range of motion
To increase alertness
To decrease agitation
To increase function
To increase strength and postural control
To reduce active extension
To reduce energy exertion

Dynamic seating is often used with clients who have increased muscle tone. The dynamic components absorb extensor forces that could otherwise lead to client injury, equipment breakage, decreased sitting tolerance, increased agitation, decreased function, further increases in extension and quite a bit of energy exertion.

The following diagnoses often benefit from this technology:
