Many wheelchairs were not designed for comfort or the ability to provide proper posture.
The products in this section address the resident's needs for comfort and good posture while sitting in a wheelchair for prolonged periods of time. Good posture is an advantage for the resident since it enhances comfort and maximizes the opportunity to complete normal tasks. Proper position also contributes to reduction and prevention of pressure sores by distributing interface pressures.
"Providing a good base of external support will increase stability, maintain skeletal alignment, counteract poor posture and encourage desired positions. With this input, the development of contractures may be limited and shortened muscle groups may actually elongate over time.The inability to create dynamic stability in the trunk and limb girdles may deprive the individual of the opportunity to produce controlled movements because there is no anchoring control. This can limit a clients ability to interact with the environment in a useful manor.In order to enhance functioning, postural supports can be used to create artificial central stability."
