Dynamic Seating

During the first 12 months children develop at an extreme rate. With regards to sitting, most of the basic motor skills are established during this time. If the normal process of development does not take place, early intervention is critical at this stage to prevent further problems. Following years of research and development with moulded seats, we feel we have successfully created a seating system that will provide our clients with the postural stability required at an early age. This being essential to prevent further musculo-skeletal complications at a later stage.

The Delfi Pro has been designed specifically for children with fluctuating tone, particularly active extensor tone, and can accommodate children with a variety of musculo-skeletal deformities, (Kypho-scoliosis, Posterior pelvic tilt and hip subluxation). The Delfi Pro is suitable for children from approximately 8 months to 10 years.

Dynamic seating

With the Delfi Pro there is an option to provide additional dynamism as it is manufactured in plastic that is not completely rigid but allows certain movement when in a seated position. The seats are equipped with a special ”flex-joint” in the back, which creates additional dynamism and is an effective way of absorbing and reducing any active extensor tone and/or spasticity.

Adjustment options ”The seat grows with the child” The Delfi Pro can be adjusted in a number of different ways. The back can be angled and adjusted in height. The leg pieces can be adjusted to accommodate independent hip abduction or adduction, as well as leg length discrepancies. With these adjustments we can create an optimal seating position as well as allowing the seat to grow with the child.
