Posture, Function & Comfort
The adjustability of the Squiggles allows parents, therapists, and teachers to optimize a child’s posture and positioning. With stable posture, good skin protection, and general comfort addressed, children can spend less effort on fighting gravity, and more time on activities.

Pelvic Stability
The most important feature of any seating or mobility system is its ability to align or accommodate a range of pelvic positions. This gives the best possible base of support for trunk and head alignment and maximizes arm and hand function.

Squiggles Features:

 

The pelvis is held in a neutral position with the four-point pelvic harness.		Squiggles’ flexible sacral cushion can she shaped to support the sacrum, further enhancing pelvic stability.		A ramped cushion maintains the alignment of the pelvis and thighs, and along with the other pelvic stability features, maintains the neutral position of the pelvis.

 

Trunk and Head Alignment

Trunk and head support contributes to the stability of the pelvis and facilitates arm and hand function, concentration and social interaction.

When minimal additional trunk support is needed, a small chest harness can be attached to the lateral supports.		If greater trunk support is needed, a trunk harness can be attached. The shoulder sections can be released separately for upper limb activities.		The new shoulder section promotes shoulder protraction, midline positioning of the arms, and greater neck and head stability.

 

Leg and Foot Positioning

Unsupported feet can contribute to instability of the pelvis, and therefore the alignment of the trunk and head.

An optional pommel assists with alignment of the femurs, ensuring a more abducted posture.		The height adjustable footplate can be fitted with sandals if an asymmetrical foot position is required.

 

Function

The Squiggles seat is designed to help a broader range of children carry out everyday functions at home, in the classroom and out and about.

When relaxation or a change of posture is needed, the tilt-in-space offers an easy way to achieve it without disturbing the overall posture.		For table top activities or feeding, the large tray also offers additional anterior support.		With a range of bases available, the easy to push stroller base is ideal for out and about.
