The SmartSeatPro
II
can be fitted with
adjustable laterals which have height,
width and angle adjustment to provide
support to the sides of the rib cage. The
adjustable laterals can be retrofitted to
any SmartSeatPro
II
chair and each lateral
can be independently adjusted. The
SmartSeatPro
II
offers a range of ergonomic
lateral pads to suit a wider range of
individuals.
The lateral combinations would have been
specified at the assessment, using the
information shown below.
Height selection - for each side can be
achieved by using combinations of pad
adjustment, arm selection & pad height
adjustment, this is discussed more further
in this section. A range of 250mm to
500mm from the seat height is achievable on each side.
Width selection – Pads with a range of:
•
200mm – 400mm chest width (Narrow)
•
300mm – 500mm chest width (Wide)
Depth – Two pad sizes and depth options to accommodate various body shapes:
•
160mm (Small)
•
190mm (Medium)
A kidney shaped pad is also available.
The objective of using supports like
adjustable laterals is to position the user as
upright and as close to a ‘midline’ position
as possible so that pelvis, spine and head
are aligned in a vertical column.
However, adjustable laterals can also be
used to support asymmetric postures. In all
situations, adjust the laterals to fit against
the skeleton i.e. The ribs. If the lateral is positioned too low down it is likely that the
user will end up leaning over the top edge of the lateral.
Tip: When the laterals are fitted and positioned there should be at a minimum a two
finger gap between the top edge of the lateral and the user’s axilla (arm pit).
