Therapy chair

The therapy chair for children usually consists of a seat shell and a base frame. The seat shell is designed to provide an optimal sitting position, depending on the child's impairment and assistance needs. Headrests, lateral supports (pelottes), and straps are used to help achieve this. Some manufacturers customize the seat shells for therapy chairs, while others offer various standard seat shell models.

The base frame of the therapy chair needs to be adapted to the child's specific requirements. For example, in a kindergarten setting, a base frame that can be lowered might be essential so that the child can sit at the kindergarten tables or participate in circle time. The base frames of therapy chairs also come with different types of casters or wheels, which should be suitable for the type of flooring. Additionally, it's important to consider whether a push handle or grip is needed for the therapy chair.

Overall, the design and customization of therapy chairs for children aim to provide the best possible support and comfort, promoting participation and independence in various activities.
