Product Information

To give you a snapshot of what their jobs involve, Rachel Hutchinson, Clinical Services Director, is on hand to tell you more. Any straps or harnesses must be used in line with any instructions or guidance given by the manufacturer or therapist. Similarly, the support should not push your back forwards as this can overly accentuate the natural curvature of your spine. If you need a very high seat to make standing easier, but need support for the feet when seated, try using a footstool, but make sure you can push it out of the way easily before standing up. Home monitors can offer invaluable support when used in a professional or home care environment to support those who are more vulnerable.

Alison recommends this shape, size, and density of foam lumbar cushion as it is a suitable size to use with an existing office chair which may be lacking suitable lumbar support. For instance, if you have swollen feet or ankles you may need to have your legs supported to at least a horizontal position, if not higher, to reduce the swelling effectively. If you have mobility issues with your hands, such as tremors, painful fingers, swollen joints or paralysis, you may find it harder to prepare food, and enjoy mealtimes. Ergonomic products can significantly improve your health and wellbeing at work and allow you to perform at your best. Therefore before purchasing or hiring a leg rest or footstool ensure that it will be suitable for your particular needs.

In addition the D-shaped Memory Foam lumbar cushion is recommended for used with soft furnishings ie easy chairs and sofas. The support is finished in a luxury velour cover for extra comfort, which can be improved further with the memory foam option. You need to clarify who actually owns the chair and who is responsible for its maintenance or replacement should it be required.

Chair raisers increase the height of the legs of the armchair, therefore also increasing the height of the seat and the armrests. Having the thick edge of the wedge at the front may be useful for a person who tends to slide forwards in the chair.It should be gently curved to match the natural curves of the spine and provide good support, particularly around the small of the back and the head. In this case, a chair with a tilt-in-space mechanism (where the seat and backrest tilt backwards maintaining a 90° angle between them) may be the best option (see the section on multi-adjustable deep seat chairs).
