This user manual gives an overview of the
Krabat Jockey with both electric and
manual elevation of the sitting unit.
Krabat jockey comes in two different
sizes. Many configurations are possible
with different accessories.
Krabat Jockey is an active chair for children
between the age 2
– 14 years (2 sizes). The
chair is height adjustable and can be adjusted
from floor level to the height of a kitchen
worktop. The sitting position can be adapted to
the individual child. All angles and positions can
be set infinitely. An occupational therapist or a
physiotherapist should determine the use of
this chair.
The excellent sitting position provided by the
Krabat jockey is due to both the saddle seat,
which promotes a neutral position in the pelvis
and abduction in the hips, and the footrests
that support the feet in an optimal position.
The chair promotes good stability in the lower
body and gives the spinal column natural
curves. This provides a good base for balance
and activity in the trunk and upper body. The
saddle seat enhances an active sitting position
rather than a slumped and passive position.
The upright and active position will also benefit
speech, swallowing and respiration.
To ensure an optimal sitting position it is
important to try out and adjust the chair before
use. Do not use the chair unless an individual
trial has been carried out. Furthermore, do not
let other children use the chair without an
individual trial.
As children grow they change their movement
and sitting pattern on a regular basis. It is likely
that the child will need another size of the
sitting unit or other adjustments. Contact your
local physiotherapist or occupational therapist
if the product is not optimal or if adjustments
are needed.
