The Feeding and Activity Chairs are most appropriate for spastic or
athetoid children who need hip flexion with abduction to achieve their
best pelvic and trunk alignment for sitting. This posture helps bring the
arms and hands forward for function. It also decreases hip and knee
extension, a more vertical pelvis, and an approximation of the normal
spinal curves. In addition, by adding lateral pelvic supports, a firm
back, and foot supports, the seat aids symmetry and alignment without the
necessity of discouraging restraints.
The Feeding and Activity
Chairs are
an excellent seating alternative for children who normally sit with their
legs under them in "W" fashion. Prolonged sitting in a "W" position may
lead to internal rotation and adduction of the hips and will limit the
child's ability to move into and out of sitting. The Feeding and
Activity Chairs
maintain hip flexion and abduction with external rotation, a position that
promotes movement in sitting.
