Enhanced Lateral Support
A superior adjustable lateral system with individualised 'tuning', controls posterior head and neck movement. Simultaneously this highly adjustable system offers enhanced lateral temporal head support and stability accommodating users with impaired head control, increased tone and/or hypersensitivity.
Step-Less Adjustment for Precise Positioning
The Adjustable Lateral Head Supports have step-less adjustment in width, depth, vertical up/down and horizontal. The adjustable lateral pads, sliding on a vertical slot, allows for infinite height adjustment of the laterals within the head support pad depending on the support that is required. Once set in position the lateral supports can be firmly tightened to lock.
In-Built Occipital Shaping
Occipital shaping of the foam ensures posterior pad control, keeping the users head is in a supported position. Following the natural contours of the users’ head for enhanced comfort.
Elastic Tensioned Cover Design
The main support pad features a zipper-less design that is tensioned with elastic for a snug fit around the pad and effortless removal for washing. Dual-layer shear reduction fabric surface is gentle on the user’s hair. The covers of the adjustable lateral support wings conceal the hardware mechanism ensuring that no hard surfaces are exposed. These can also be removed for washing.
Versatile Mounting Slots
Rear lateral mounting track provides flexibility to adjust external lateral supports in the optimal position for the head, either one side or both. This is also very effective when installing head switching buttons and other head controls into the lateral pads.
