and posture options in the acute, long-term care
and homecare environments. The chairs are
intended for patients who do not exceed the safe
working load and height recommendations for the

use in primary healthcare environments where
supervision can be provided if necessary, for
example, long-term residential care, nursing homes
or convalescent units. The Configura Advance
chair may also be placed in private homes where
there is unlikely to be 24-hour supervision by clinical
staff, but where the patient or caregiver is
considered competent in its use.
3.
A typical patient / user ranges from those who are
physically dependent on caregivers for their
mobility, social and daily care needs, through to
rehabilitating patients.

Patients using the chair may also have declining
cognitive awareness, with symptoms ranging from
mild forgetfulness and poor concentration through
to end-stage dementia.
5.
Patients may require postural support for the
accommodation, encouragement and
management of good posture.
