Seating and Positioning Aids
Positioning refers to a person's best posture for participating in a particular activity. The activity might involve moving from place to place, sitting during a conversation, eating, sleeping, etc. Specific body features are considered in order to adapt devices for maximum efficiency and comfort. Examples of seating and positioning aids are adapted seating, standing table, seat belts, braces, transfer aids, cushions and wedges to maintain posture, and devices for trunk alignment that assist people in maintaining body alignment and control so they can perform a range of daily tasks.
