We visited a child before the training who has a dislocated hip and scoliosis plus cerebral palsy. He needed a reclining chair with a lot of cusomization. The group with Kennett had to learn to make the chair plus do quite a number of adaptations. Once the chair was constructed and he had been sitting in it, adaptations were decided and added. Happily Rachael, the physiotherapst was in the group so could use her skills to help with each decision.
Making the tight tension joints - essential to keep the chair sides together and strong
Paper straps all over
Trial day - the chair is tipped back using a wedge
He needed to be propped up on the right side
New supports added to the right hand side
