Seating solved this situation...FAST!

As a therapist, when I met and assessed Before...

this client, I was initially thinking to achieve
positive support. I would have to consider a
customised, moulded backrest to meet her
needs due to the marked postural deformities
she was present with.
She has a mainly fixed scoliosis concave to
left (some correction available with maximum
effort) and fixed rib rotation forwards on left
(approximately 5” offset from midline). She also
has a fixed pelvic obliquity down on right.
I was pleasantly surprised, following advice of a
colleague, that it may be possible to achieve her
needs with the Medifab ‘SPEX’ backrest.
Subsequently this product was trialed with After...
great success!
She went from having less than 30% contact
with her existing backrest, and significant pain Theresult isavery happy,comfortable,
when sitting for any length of time, to achieving and well supported client, seated with
a product that has the ability to be
70% contact and no issues with pain when
easily changed to meet her needs in
sitting for extended periods. (Note: the Spex
the long-term.
backrest is being used in conjunction with the
Spex cushion which itself is accommodating a Community Occupational Therapist
