Standard Medial Thigh Support

The Spex Medial Thigh Support block is a wedge shape that can be attached to the front of the wheelchair seat.

It should be used to keep the user’s legs in the correct position to maintain a neutral pelvis. It doesn’t just swing-down, it can then pull off the mount to allow an unobstructed transfer.

Provides a comfortable yet firm knee and medial thigh support through a soft padding and removable washable cover.

The medial thigh support should be used with clients who experience a variety of movement disorders, fluctuating muscle tone, spasticity or contractures.
It assists to align the heads of the femurs with the acetabulum providing symmetrical hip abduction for proper posture.
Abduction allows equal weight bearing through both ischial tuberosities and thighs, thus permitting better pressure distribution.
Provides a wider, more stable support base for the upper body while limiting contractures and deformities that could interfere with function.
In cases of hip dysplasia, luxation or dislocation it provides comfort and reduces pain.
Not to be used as a way to prevent or limit forward sliding. The pommel should be installed clear of the groin area.

Depth adjustable convenience combined with flip down hardware.
Easy access release hardware.
Huge height range for high profile cushions.
Can be mounted to a seat pan.
