Introducing the AlphaCare II, our latest innovation in specialist seating, designed for individuals with significant postural instability and movement challenges. Engineered with safety and stability in mind, this robust chair offers a range of features to enhance comfort and well-being.
Ideal for individuals with conditions such as Huntington’s disease, dementia, and other neurological or neuromuscular disorders, the AlphaCare II provides optimal support in health and social care environments. With its linked seat and back recline, the chair automatically adjusts seat angles to ensure postural stability, while the contoured back promotes a midline position for improved physiological function and engagement.
The AlphaCare II goes beyond comfort, incorporating thoughtful design elements such as supportive armrests for added security and an ergonomic block leg rest to promote lower limb support and energy conservation. The Reflexion® foam technology in both the seat and leg rest ensures effective pressure relief for users with limited mobility, reducing the risk of pressure injuries.
After undergoing an extensive two-year trial period, the AlphaCare II was fine-tuned based on real-world feedback, making it the ultimate seating solution for individuals who require specialised postural care.
Designed specifically to provide enhanced support and safety, the AlphaCare II is ideal for individuals with specialised postural needs, including:
- Postural instability and limited control: Individuals with impaired postural control can benefit greatly from the AlphaCare II, which encourages a stable, aligned sitting position, reducing the risk of discomfort and falls whilst promoting engagement in daily life.
- Significant and severe movements: The chair is tailored for users who experience severe involuntary movements such as chorea or dystonia, providing essential support to promote safety and security within the chair and address abnormal movement patterns.
- Neurological and neuromuscular conditions: For individuals with conditions such as Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis, the AlphaCare II offers stability and comfort that addresses the movement disorders and pelvic instability commonly associated with these conditions.
- Cognitive impairments: The chair provides much-needed support for those living with dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and brain injuries, offering enhanced safety, postural alignment, and comfort to help manage their unique movement difficulties.
- Semi-ambulant and non-ambulant: For individuals with limited or no ambulatory capability due to frailty, advanced arthritis, or other mobility impairments, the AlphaCare II offers an ergonomic design that aids in transfers, provides comfort for long periods of sitting, and helps caregivers assist in daily activities more easily.
The AlphaCare II chair’s design and functionality makes it highly adaptable to various settings where comfort, safety, and postural care are priorities, these include:
- Domestic and Home Care: Enhancing comfort and independence for individuals with mobility challenges and movement difficulties, supporting daily activities like sitting, relaxing, and safe transfers while reducing injury risks for caregivers.
- Hospital Wards and Rehabilitation Centres: Aiding in recovery by facilitating physiological function, safe movement, and comfort for individuals with specialised postural needs.
- Nursing and Residential Homes: Designed for long-term care, the AlphaCare II ensures stability, comfort, and pressure care, supporting residents with limited mobility while assisting caregivers in their routines.
- Hospices and Respite Care: Offering crucial postural and pressure care, the AlphaCare II relieves discomfort and pressure points, providing a dignified and relaxing seating experience for individuals in palliative or temporary care.
