Spex Adjustable Lateral Head Support

A superior adjustable lateral head control system with individualised ‘tuning’.

The Adjustable Lateral Head Support offers flexibility to adjust external lateral supports, enabling these to be placed in the optimal position for users with impaired control and tone.

An upgrade to swing-away laterals is available to enable easier transfers if necessary.

For even more support, you can install our Spex thoracic lateral pads onto the head pad to create an enhanced level of support required (Tip: the Spex curved pads work really well).

Spex Head Support pads are constructed from an internal aluminium shell covered by an injection moulded polyurethane foam to ensure smooth and comfortable support surface. The family of head support shapes have been geometrically and biomechanically designed to give greater support and stability for head positioning for wheelchair users. Along with the versatile Spex Stylo hardware, it’s possible to accommodate an extensive range of head positioning requirements.
