You are probably sitting in a chair while visiting this web site. Have you moved recently?
Why does everyone move while sitting?
- To shift weight for comfort and pressure relief
- To reduce fatigue caused by sitting in one position for too long
- To look in a different direction and aid visual orientation
- To reach for an object, to eat, to play, etcetera
- To lean toward or away from social interaction
Some of the benefits that therapists, parents, and caregivers have reported while using the Kids UP REACTION™ dynamic seating system are:
(Please remember these benefits are simply reports from customers, actual results will vary!)
- Increased interaction with peers
- Sleeping through the night
- Improved verbal skills
- Reduction or elimination of laxative use
- Increased range of motion at the hips and knees
The patented REACTION™ Dynamic Seating System provides a system that accomodates and encourages children with abnormal (strong or weak) extensor tone patterns by allowing a controlled range of extension at the hips and knees. The REACTION™ system allows the controlled movement while maintaining proper pelvic positioning.
"It is not reasonable to expect the child to strengthen if they do not have the ability to move" .......Cathy Mulholland, OTR/L
