Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.
This elevated seat is specially designed to meet the needs of those who have had hip replacement
This elevated seat is specially designed to meet the needs of those who have undergone unilateral or bilateral total hip replacement. When the patient is seated on it, the legs are kept abducted in the proper position. The "saddle" type seat also prevents internal rotation as well as adduction at the hip. This can help reduce the effects of spasticity occuring in persons with cerebral palsy or other conditions affecting muscle tone. Adds 4" to the seating level. Weighs 3.3 lb. (1.5 kg). Designed in conjunction with the OT/PT Rehabilitation Departments at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, NY.

PLAY Tip
Take extra care handling kids with hypotonia!
Children with hypotonia (low muscle tone) often have loose ligiments supporting their joints. Extra care must be taken not to pull too hard on children's limbs. For example - If a child who can't stand independantly is pulled to stand by the hands, it is possible to dislocate a shoulder or elbow.
Any tender, swollen, or protected joints in children with hypotonia should be seen by a doctor right away!
