2. Medical requirements
2 . 1 . Field of application/ Target group
Excerpt from the GKV Association
Therapy chairs/seating aids consist of wood/metal
frame constructions, with adjustable parts in several
areas� Most of these seating aids have a chassis with
rollers and consist of an upholstered seat, back and
side parts or a rigid seat shell� Further components
include back extensions or a head rest, abduction
pommel, side pads, foot rests, fixation systems and a
therapy tray table�
Insured persons can sit safely and stably in the therapy
chair and participate more actively in life, e�g� through a
raised seating position and, if necessary, also through
adjustable seat heights�
Therapy chairs are suitable for children and adoles-
cents who cannot sit freely on standard seating furni-
ture, but whose restricted trunk posture does not yet
require a seat shell�
An important prerequisite for the meaningful use of
this seating aid is that the freedom of movement of
the hands is not restricted, so that it is possible for
the insured person to maintain or expand motor skills�
2 . 2 . Indications
Excerpt from the GKV Association
Impaired sitting in the case of functional and/or struc-
tural damage to the trunk or trunk muscles and, if ap-
plicable, the cervical muscles (e�g� due to neurologi-
cal/neuromuscular diseases, deformities of the spinal
column) with incorrect posture�
To maintain a sitting position which is as physiological
as possible and to ensure stable sitting requiring more
frequent adjustments as a result of rapid growth during
the corresponding developmental phases ( particularly
in infancy)�
If it is not possible to sit on normal seating furniture for
a prolonged period of time and the provision of a seat
shell is not necessary�
The correction of incorrect posture is only possible to
a limited extent with these systems�
Care area according to the recommendations of § 126 SGB

2 . 3 . Contraindications
There are no known contraindications�
2 . 4 Intended use
This product can be used to seat children and infants
who have impaired seating due to functional and/or
structural damage to the trunk or trunk muscles and,
if applicable, the cervical muscles who are therefore
unable to sit on normal seating furniture� It is used for
therapeutic purposes to maintain or expand the user's
motor skills by means of predetermined freedom of
movement and dynamics�
