Seating & Mobility
To establish the most effective options for seating during activity, or to provide seated mobility.
Maximising Opportunity
Rehabilitation can bring benefits to your body and psychologically, without always restoring the ability to walk to a significant extent, or at all.
This is most often seen in serious spinal injuries, although can apply to other trauma, or a range of neurological conditions.
Building the future for our inpatients, or outpatients includes finding solutions to allow them to regain much of their life. Amongst this will be the ability to carry out tasks, or be independently mobile.
Initial and ongoing assessment helps identify seating requirements to maintain good posture, or meet pressure needs. The most effective choice for greater mobility can be found.
Seating and mobility support is about understanding how much can be achieved. Then finding the best options modern technology offers, to bring the desired outcome.
An Individual Process
Our support may be an integral part of residential therapy, or you could be attending one of our regular seating & mobility clinics.
Alongside medical details, we gather personal information, such as your height, weight, hip and leg length, your activities. Each is part of refining how we can help with:
- Planning seating for work & other activity.
- Tailored support via occupational therapy.
- Selecting a wheelchair, or standing aids.
Understanding your circumstances and routines will matter. There can be times where we would visit your home, or workplace, to ensure individual needs are fully understood.
Specialist tools can be used to analyse pressure points. Hand drawings, or computer software helps with understanding your seated posture.
Adaptive furniture adds support
Sourcing Solutions
Through outpatient visits, or when you are staying with us, the information provided will help to determine the best size of seating, or standing facilities, or a wheelchair.
This may include powered chairs, those offering all terrain access, or sports wheelchairs. Standing aids can vary, from fixed resources, to types of exoskeleton.
Our centre has a notable selection in house, along with ways we can simulate the types of movement you want to be available. Exploring other possibilities is still quite normal.
If we don’t have the best equipment for you, we will try to source this from reliable suppliers as soon as we can, for a trial.
Our recommendations are based on science and experience but the equipment is yours. Being confident that you have made the right choices helps to build good outcomes.
In Depth Support
When you have been assessed, a detailed written report is supplied. For you to study, or share with outside agencies if you wish.
Should occupational therapy be a sound move, this can be provided by our professional team. If physiotherapy would help, the same direct support is available.
Our seating and mobility service is there to maximise your recovery and independence. Allowing so much of life to continue, in a professional, personal, or social sense.
The events, or medical conditons which brought a need for change will not have been welcome. So much can still be overcome through experience and the right equipment.
Any help you need with this now, or in the future is available from our team. Delivered with a focus on all that can be achieved, for each unique individual they assist.
Discussing your needs helps
