Guidelines for Best Practice
To ensure good practice when considering
purchasing an Encora chair and effective
use post purchase we advise that the
following guidelines are considered:
1. Seek advice and input from a qualified
therapist/professional and/or Kirton
representative/distributor at the initial
prescription of the chair.
2. If unsure when ordering the chair and
any accessories contact either the
therapist involved or your Kirton
representative or distributor or our
Customer Services Team on
Freephone 0800 212709
or
+44 (0) 1440 705352
to discuss
further.
3. It is recommended that following
receipt of the chair all staff members
that will be supervising the user(s)
should be trained in adjusting the chair
to ensure it is adjusted safely and
correct positioning is maintained for
the benefit of the user.
4. Users of the Encora should be
supervised and checked regularly to
ensure their most appropriate position
is maintained in the chair.
Adjusting the Encora chair for
the User
It is recommended that the chair is adjusted
to accommodate each user’s
specific requirements in terms of seat
length and height, back angle and tilt-in-
space.
Begin by sitting the user in the chair and
check the leg dimensions of the user
against the position of the legrest.
Most adjustments can be easily made with
the user in the chair with the exception of
the seat length adjustment that is easier to
facilitate when the chair is unoccupied.
