Spex Hip Flexion Contour universal positioning base
Contact us for pricing.
The Spex hip flexion positioning base ensures the users position is enhanced underneath the air and gel cushions. The Universal positioning base helps to assist these challenges by inserting the air/gel cushion to configure the users clinical assessment.
Description
• Enhanced positioning outcomes underneath air and gel cushions
• Traditionally, it has been difficult to meet clinical requirements for wheelchair users with pelvic and postural requirements when seated on pressure care cushions.
• The Universal Positioning Base assists with these challenges by insertion under the air/gel cushion to configure the base system as per the user's clinical assessment, to achieve a functional outcome for the user whilst not compromising with pressure care properties.
• The Hip Flexion Contour Universal Positioning Base comes with 1x hip flexion contour base and a pack of 8 contouring obliquity pads.
• This is an ideal solution for users that have limited hip flexion and require the front of their cushion to be "ramped" downward slightly.
• The angle is fixed at 10°, however this can be slightly reduced or increased with the use of the Velcro contour pads and Tessellated Shape System pads.
• Moderate asymmetrical hip flexion limitations can also be accommodated by adding the Velcro contour pads under one of the user's thighs to raise it up slightly in comparison to the other thigh.
• Similar to the Ischial Contour Universal Positioning Base, this also features a pre-ischial ledge to support the user's pelvis and prevent them from sliding forward on the cushion.
