Feeder Seat | Provides positioning control for whole child while feeding. Good for kids w/CP who lack proper sitting balance & head/mouth control. Hip strap holds pelvis @ 90 degree angle. |
Feader Seat: Training programs | Positions child 4 attention span acts such as: practice feeding techs, jaw control & grasp/reach exer, communication boards, 1-to-1 communication, oral exercising |
Feeder Seat: Feeding program (feeding objective: eye-hand coordination control) | Position child upright @ 90 deg. 4 maintenance of trunk/head control. Lat. side supports keep (L)->(R) symmetry/brings arms slightly fwd, backrest keeps shoulders protractd w/headrest preventing neck hyprext. Abductor keeps LEs mildly abd/ext. rotated |

Feeder Seat: Reclined (Young adult w/spastic CP) | Seat can b used supine 2 (A) in reducing lordotic curve/encourage nexk flexion. Recline/support LEs to create greateer than 90 deg of flex @ hips, gravity will (A) w/ positioning to provide ROM 2 lowr bk. UE fwd flex/hor. abd are encouraged w/antigravity. |
Feeder Seat: Adapted to Home Use | Position w/wedge or against any stationary object @ home for act's such as : 1-to-1 games, observing siblings play, watching mom in kitchen, watching tv. |

Rover | Made to transport Feeder Seat, method of adding mobility to positioning. |
Universal Corner Chair | Primarily used to practice basic sitting position. |
Universal Corner Chair: Extensor Thrust Inhbition | facilitates shoulder flexion which helps prevent extensor thrust from hips/LEs when child lifts UEs for hand use.Also provides lat. supports 2 provide practice in balance control. MUST have some deg. of trunk control. |
Sitting is the _____ | first position in developmental sequence which completely frees both arms for bilateral movement, FM skills & eye-hand coordination |
