A really interesting session today at a wheelchair service, the young child had a rare condition where his nerve ending had gathered in small nodules on his back and side, which he found really uncomfortable when sitting . His current wheelchair had an off the shelf solid back with foam insert, that wasn’t comfortable and functional for him, once we tried the Stabilo comfortable plus behind him he instantly sat into the back. Which he had never done before and the therapist and dad were very impressed with this outcome.
A custom mould back wasn’t an option due to how sensitive these nodule can become, as our Stabilo cushion could be tailored to meet his needs on an hourly basis , it has become the back of choice for him.
