Details and patient eligibility

About

When the seat is a vehicle for disabled person, postural adaptation methodology is known and, on prescription, there is possibility of financial support for technical posture assists. For people who use a standard seat, a chair for example, there is no satisfactory existing hardware.

A transportable customisable and scalable sitting positioning device (DATP device), to be placed on a standard seat, is a solution that might fit in the home, in specialized foster homes or in institutions for the elderly. Such a device has been developed but earnings on swallowing disorders have to be validated.
