A case for customized seating.
Each custom seating referral is a puzzle. By gathering the various pieces of client and caregiver input, client assessment, and trial equipment, the seating professional can create an overall plan that successfully meets client needs. Using a combination of commercial seating products, custom seating products, and creative hardware combinations has proven to be a successful model of care for the OrthoSEAT program at Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital. Through communication, interaction, and construction, a seating professional can successfully match products and fabrication methods to each individual's need for function and comfort.
