LCS works alongside occupational therapists, physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals to help identify suitable solutions based on each individual’s postural and functional requirements.
What are the benefits of using a specialist positioning system?
Specialist positioning systems provide targeted support to help individuals maintain an appropriate body position when they cannot do so independently.
Depending on the product and the user’s requirements, potential benefits include improved postural alignment, greater seated or lying stability, increased comfort and support during rehabilitation or everyday activities.
Positioning systems can also form part of a wider 24-hour postural management programme, helping provide appropriate support across different activities and environments.
Does LCS supply positioning systems for babies and young children?
Yes. LCS offers specialist paediatric positioning solutions, including the Pro Medicare Bibi and Whippy systems.
Bibi is an infant total-body positioning kit intended for professional use during rehabilitation, therapy and hospital care. It can support different positions, including sitting, supine, prone and side lying.
Whippy is a modular postural positioning system designed for infants weighing up to 12 kg, supporting early postural management intervention.
The appropriate system should be selected and configured by a qualified healthcare professional.
What is the Pro Medicare Eolo positioning system?
The Eolo is a multifunctional tilting highchair designed to provide supported seating for individuals with additional postural requirements.
It features a height-adjustable indoor base and can be used in environments such as the home, school, rehabilitation centres and other care settings.
Its adjustable design allows seating professionals to consider the user’s posture, positioning and functional needs when establishing a suitable seating configuration.
Are there positioning systems available for specialist rehabilitation and therapy?
Yes. The LCS positioning range includes several products designed for specific therapeutic applications.
The Prox is a modular pelvic positioning cushion designed to provide customised seated support while relieving and ventilating sensitive areas around the pelvis and perineum.
The Helix supports prone positioning in clinical environments, allowing healthcare staff to carry out positioning adjustments.
The Hippo is a specialist postural saddle pad designed to support pelvic and trunk alignment during equine-assisted rehabilitation activities.
Each product should be used according to its intended purpose and the individual’s clinical requirements.
How do I choose the right positioning system for an individual?
Selecting an appropriate positioning system depends on the person’s age, body measurements, postural presentation, mobility, functional abilities and intended activities.
For example, an infant requiring early postural intervention may benefit from a different solution than an individual requiring supported indoor seating, pelvic positioning or therapeutic prone positioning.
An occupational therapist or physiotherapist can assess these requirements and recommend an appropriate product and configuration.
