Seat shells stabilize body posture in the therapeuti-
cally desired position through the full body design of
these aids� This way they facilitate the patient's percep-
tion and contact to his/her surroundings, improve vital
functions such as breathing and cardiovascular circu-
lation, reduce spasms and allow active use of arms and
hands for autonomous mobility and activities�
2 . 2 . Scope of indications

Infantile cerebral palsy: spastic quadriplegia, dys-
kinetic quadriplegia, quadriplegia with dystonic
spasms, athetosis and choreoathetosis

Cerebral movement disorders
Sitting and the ability for controlled movement of the head
and upper extremities are extremely limited in these pa-
tient groups with regard to the following activities:

stretching

spasms in extension

pathological movement patterns in global exten-
sion

episthotonus

startle responses

synkinetic stretching of the torso, upper and lower
extremities

dystonic spasms

asymmetric and symmetric-tonic neck reflexes

tonic labyrinth reflex
The provision of a conventional rigid seat shell is often
not indicated due to poor acceptance or difficult to real-
ize� Particularly the high forces exerted by conventional
seat shells are often not tolerated by patients� Further-
more, a conventional seat shell increases the risk for:
hip luxation, painful hips, shortening of the muscles,
muscle contraction, reduced joint mobility, secondary
damage due to immobility�
The dynamic AKTIVLINE
®
seat shell system allows the
automatic response to different body postures and thus
promotes breathing, circulation, digestion, mobility
of the body's joints and acts prophylactically against
pressure areas�
Contraindications:
There are no known contraindications� When exceeding
the permissible patient weight, we wish to point out that
the AKTIVLINE may require a reinforced frame con-
struction and/or reinforcement of other components�
