The Chair Head/Side Supports are designed to help patients who lean to the side when sitting. This can be the start of bad posture and may even be dangerous. By supporting the head, it may be possible to prevent the shoulders from moving. When someone starts to lean they may also roll forward as well, so we hope by using the Chair Head/Side Supports this will be prevented.

The Side Supports can also be fitted lower down the chair next to either the patient’s shoulders or chest depending on the size of the patient and their chair. There are two types of Side Supports available. The smaller triangular wedge (Item 418) and the larger curved wedge (Item 418C). Generally the larger curved wedge is used for larger people, although smaller people also find this very supportive as it hugs the body.

The Side Supports are very easy to adjust so they are close to the patient. The band is 145cm long and each end is split into two sections. This allows for the strap to be placed with one side going over the arm of the chair and one side going underneath, which then still allows the Side Supports to be placed correctly. This is only necessary when the arm of the chair is in the way.

Always monitor the patient to ensure the Side Supports are working, as they may not be effective for some patients.

Cleaning, these can be hand or machine washed up to 80° C. Cool tumble dry.
