Case study: bathtime for George is liberating with new support aid
For quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy teenager George, bath-time has always been compromised. Aqua Liberty has changed all that!
Suffering from quadriplegic Cerebral Palsyhas hitherto meant George was always in a sling to give him the support necessary at bath time.
Our Aqua Liberty has changed all that.
It is the first effective answer George’s parents have found. It means he can relax and soak without them intervening.
Designed and developed in the UK in partnership with Occupational Therapists, Aqua Liberty is the only bath support system that fits any user, any bath.
how it works
Fitted with any of our range of infinitely-adjustable waterproof yet breathable posture support cushions, the Aqua Liberty system perfectly holds the bather safely in the water without care assistance.
The cushion- in George’s case the Comfortable Plus trunk/pelvis combo- is moulded to precisely and correctly support without pressure.
The design of the Aqua Liberty system means it is quick and easy to remove. The bath becomes available for use by other members of the family.
This also eliminates any need for the delay, cost and disruption of installing specialist baths and bathing equipment.
When not in use in the bath, the base can be rolled up and stowed away. The cushions can be removed and used wherever else sitting support is required. This could be in a chair/ wheelchair, in the car- or other activities such as flying, beach buggy-ing or canoeing!
the outcome
"We used to have a similar product to this but it used a beaded system and therefore didn’t mould very well to George’s body shape. Plus it recently broke and the beads went everywhere! Think polystyrene balls all over the wet room floor: I’m still finding them now!
“Until we tried Aqua Liberty, we had to keep George’s sling on the in the bath as he is not able to sit up in the bath without support. He was extremely relaxed and comfortable whilst seated in the Aqua Liberty. He absolutely loves the bath so would make good use of this piece of equipment.”
