Designed for the user who has moderate to severe positioning requirements
The SuperHigh contour cushion creates an optimum pelvic foundation for the user who requires extra pelvic and hip immersion. We do this using the proven Spex strategic positioning base technology. It’s properties provide hip and leg envelopment as well as an ideal pressure redistribution all over the seat cushion.
Clinical
The SuperHigh contour cushion is an excellent choice for individuals who:
- Require extra pelvic and hip immersion
- Have muscle tone patterns that require sufficient thigh lateral control. Thigh support is higher for alignment – refer specifications table
- If extremity support can’t be maintained through the use of external thigh laterals and/or if installing thigh laterals can’t be used, the SuperHigh contour cushion will provide that needed support and stabilisation
- Have a symmetrical or asymmetrical sitting posture that requires correction or control/accommodation
- Require pelvic comfort and pressure relief/distribution
- Require a high degree of pelvic stability and specific contouring
Functional
