different user requirements. It is particularly suitable

Configura

®

Care should be selected for

users:

With neurological conditions who need to
maintain a good, midline posture.

With conditions affecting their abdomen which
makes upright sitting uncomfortable.

Who require a wide range of positions for different
activities through the day.

With progressive conditions whose risk of
developing pressure damage will increase.

Who have skeletal issues (such as kyphosis) and
require adjustment of support in the backrest.

Configura

®

Care is designed to offer the right size

and to accommodate pressure care and postural
requirements for different users. Configura

®

Care can

accommodate moderate postural requirements but
is not suitable for users that lean to one side heavily
or have fixtures such as pronounced ‘windsweeping’,
fixtures or pelvic obliquity. It is also not suitable for
users who have severe involuntary movements.
Configura

®

Care is suitable for users with neurological

conditions such as MS, MND, Dementia and
Parkinson’s etc.

The suitability and effectiveness of these features are
dependent on correct chair set up, which is
dependent on three key elements:

Seat to footplate height

Seat width

Seat depth

Configura

®

Care should be regularly checked to

ensure the set-up is correct and it is working as
intended for the user.
