Max has a tremendous amount of extensor tone in his body and presses with a great deal of force against his head support. This has resulted in loss of alignment of the head support, as well as equipment damage. Here, Max is using his new Stealth Products i2i head support with Glideskin upholstery to reduce friction and short arms modification. The shape of this head support reduces his tendency toward neck hyperextension. His head appears forward as this is where he is aligned in relation to his spine, which has some non-reducible kyphosis. The Seating Dynamics Dynamic Head Support Hardware absorbs and diffuses his strong forces, reducing the level of active extension in his neck and facilitating more of a midline position.
Do you accept MEDICARE 4 PAYMENT?
Raymond, Seating Dynamics is a manufacturer. You need to work directly with a complex rehab supplier in your area to submit for funding approval through Medicare. This is often covered. Once approved, the supplier will order and install any dynamic seating components.
It is important to start with an evaluation through a wheelchair seating clinic, ideally, to determine what wheelchair seating and mobility needs are present and which solutions are most appropriate. That clinic writes documentation used for funding approval of any recommended equipment. If you need further help, please let us know.
