Thoracic positioning impacts proper posture and safety. Thoracic trunk supports
are placed in front of the trunk and are designed to keep the trunk aligned with
the back of the seating system. A properly positioned trunk allows for:
improved respiratory capacity;
a good visual field;
proper head positioning and neck alignment;
improved overall pressure distribution;
reduction of negative postural tendencies that can lead to orthopedic deformities and
secondary medical complications; and
a balance between support and function.
