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
Crystal Drop Ball: Sensory Integration and Balance
Try sitting the child cross-legged on a ball. Hold their hips firmly, and slowly roll the ball from the center out in the forward directions on a gentle angle.
Watch to see how (and if) the child compensates for the new angle of their trunk. We want to see the chin tip back towards level with the floor. This signifies the understanding that "upright" is not always determined by the position of the hips relative to the floor, but rather is cued by the relation of the inner ears to the floor.
Prompt the child to "sit up straight" both with verbal and demonstrative cues. Once the rolling forward is mastered, work on backwards, side-to-side, and in a gentle circular motion. The see-through ball adds extra fun!
