Darcy Rocks: Side by Side View of Before & After Dynamic Rocker Back
Before receiving a new tilt-in-space wheelchair with Dynamic Rocker Back, Darcy’s movement was met with resistance causing many wheelchair breaks, reduced seating tolerance and unsafe “walking of his chair” across the room.
Darcy – Reducing Agitation and Providing Sensory Input through Movement
See how a Dynamic Rocker Back has not only satisfied Darcy’s need to rock in his wheelchair, but improved safety, sitting tolerance, function and decreased equipment breakage.
Quick Class: Dynamic Seating – Addressing Shear
A primary goal of wheelchair seating and mobility is to reduce Shear forces. Does Dynamic Seating increase Shear? This quick class answers that question.
Carl: A Side by Side View of Before and After Dynamic Back Installation
Before receiving a Dynamic Back, Carl was actually standing up in his power wheelchair due to unrelieved extensor tone. After receiving a Dynamic Back on his new power wheelchair, Carl is able to stay seated with his body in alignment with the support surfaces of the seating system.
The Impact of Dynamic Seating on Computer Access
Carl used to lay on his stomach on a mat on the floor in order to access a computer keyboard using a head stick. With Dynamic Seating, he can now access his computer while seated in his power wheelchair.
Joe’s Dynamic Footrests
