Abstract
Over the last 18 months, 77 severely disabled persons have been provided with specialized seating systems. Most patients were children (75 percent). Sixty-five percent of the patients were male and 35 percent female. The majority of patients had cerebral palsy conditions (64 percent). Other conditions included spinal cord injury (18 percent), muscular dystrophy (10 percent) and multiple orthopedic deformities (8 percent). Various seating systems were prescribed. For 29 percent of the cases, the Bead seat was prescribed because it was found to have several advantages over its rivals, particularly with respect to in-house fitting and manufacturing. The Snug system (25 percent) was found unsatisfactory for children who had poor head control. The Pin-Dot modular system was found to be suitable mostly for domestic and institutional use. Some problems were also encountered with other systems.
