Will my client break the Dynamic Seating?

Dynamic Seating is often used to prevent equipment breakage, specifically the wheelchair frame and seating system. The Dynamic components absorb strong, repeated, sudden, and/or sustained forces, hence protecting vulnerable areas of the seating and mobility base. This was addressed in two prior Blogs (Dynamic Seating to Prevent Equipment Breakage, part 1 and part 2). But what about the Dynamic Components themselves? Just how durable are these?

Modular Dynamic Seating Components Vs. Integrated Dynamic Seating Systems

Modular components can be retrofitted to a mobility base and used individually or in combination with one another. Let’s take a look at Spencer’s transition from an Integrated system to Modular components.

Oil and Water – Do Molded Backs and Dynamic Seating Mix?

Oil and water don’t mix well and we often assume that molded seating and movement don’t mix either. Why? Well, a molded seat or back provides very intimate contact with the client’s body. If, for example, the seat to back angle changes, this can change the alignment of the client in relation to these intimate contours.

Numotion Rocky Hill, CT “The Dynamic Back and Dynamic footrests have allowed some of my toughest clients to sit in comfort and stay positioned.”

Mark Locklear, ATP

“Dynamic Seating allows for better postural alignment without having to reposition the client multiple times throughout the day. I like the multiple dynamic options (dynamic footrests and dynamic rocker back) to accommodate many obstacles with clients who have cerebral palsy in many of our day programs and residential homes. Specifically allowing clients to have functional movement has reduced the amount of extension patterns in several clients of mine.”
