HydroTilt® Accessories
As every client is different, we have designed accessories which can cater for a whole range of needs and add comfort and security to our chairs. All of our accessories can be retro-fitted to our chairs, meaning that should a client’s condition change over the course of time, we are able to adapt the chair in line with new requirements.
Straps & Harnesses
Groin harness A positioning aid that, when correctly tensioned, provides maximum pelvic control and prevents the client from sliding forward in the seat.
Pelvic strap Keeps the clients pelvis firmly back in the seat, helping maintain a good sitting posture. Must be used under constant supervision and never as a restraint.
Chest harness Provides upper trunk support for clients who require lateral positioning where solid lateral supports are inappropriate. Also helps maintain an upright sitting position.
Padded pelvic strap As per standard pelvic strap with the addition of sub-ASIS pads to help reduce pressure on the bony prominences at the front of the pelvis.
Positioning Aids
Adjustable laterals The two pads can be adjusted horizontally and vertically to provide accurate thoracic support for clients who require positive lateral positioning.
Lateral blocker The L shaped pads are available in two thickness and can be used either singularly or in pairs to provide simple lateral support.
Seat ramp Seat ramps create an acute hip angle to either break extensor spasm or keep the pelvis in the back of the seat.
Pommel Positioned on the front edge of the seat cushion, the pommel sits between the client's knees to abduct the thighs and help prevent the legs scissoring.
Footplates and Legrests
Padded footplate The right angled, height adjustable, padded footplate can be attached to the legrest once elevated to support the client's feet and prevent toe drop due to gravity..
Legrest extension The legrest extension is used to increase the length of the legrest once elevated, providing support for clients with long lower legs who do not need foot support.
Angle adjustable footplate The footplate has a 30 degree range of angle adjustment to accommodate ankle deformity or foot plantarflexion. Footplate pads are also available for added comfort.
Headrests
Soft pillow headrest The deep, ultra soft Dacron pillow conforms to the shape of the client's head and shoulders and provides a high level of comfort..
Foam headrest Available in three thichnesses (shallow / medium / deep) the headrest is made from contoured foam to provide basic lateral head control..
Profiled soft pillow headrest The soft, Dacron pillow has been contoured to fit the shoulders, neck and head to give a very comfortable and supportive head position.
Neckrest Available in one size, the neckrest has a deeper profile than the foam headrests to give greater lateral head control.
Others
Tray The tray can hold a dinner plate or book and has low profiled edges to prevent items sliding off. The underside can be padded to protect the client's knees.
