2.3.1 Indication
Seating aids are used to compensate a disability with moderate to heavy
incorrect sitting postures and/or sitting instabilities. The underlying dama-
ge as cause of the impaired sitting varies. Often the interplay between
pelvis and spine is disturbed due to congenital or acquired damage to the
torso (bony or joint structures) or due to congenital or acquired functional
impairments of the motor system (muscular, neuronal, cerebral, due to in-
jury). Examples for clinical pictures/illnesses could be: cerebral movement
disorder, myelodysplasia, muscular dystrophy or atrophy, multiple sclerosis,
stiffening of hip or knee joint.
2.3.2 Contraindications
In general, the indications for a seating aid should be approved by a doc-
tor or orthopaedist. It should therefore be clarified prior to procurement
whether contraindications exist for the patient.
In general, any type of pain represents a contraindication.
