SPICA POSITIONING

Special adaptations can be performed for children in a temporary Spica cast system. The back
would be positioned at the 90-degree position and the standard handle bar would be used.
Once healing is complete and the cast removed, the standard seating system and footrest
system can be returned to the wheelchair.

SUPINE POSITIONING

A beneficial adaptation of the ROCKIT wheelchair is that the seat back can recline 90
degrees.

This allows supine positioning for children with complex needs. The seat back can

be adjusted in special situations to provide a long flat surface.

The adjustable footrest can be

raised to the seat base to extend the seating platform an additional 9 inches.

The ROCKIT Wheelchair is specially configured to provide the growth, therapeu-
tic support, and anthropometric positioning to accommodate a large segment of
the pediatric population with mid through profound deformities. It is also
well-suited to custom configuring to fit a child using the child’s personal
requirements.

The child in figure 1 has pelvic obliquity.
The upper and lower extremities are
assymetrical to compensate and
maintain balance. A trunk support added
to the child’s left side helps straighten the
upper torso while the seating wedge is
placed under the pelvis due to the
obliquity. The footbed provides support
to brace the feet and help to balance the
entire body.
