Mechanisms Pressure Management Postural Support Seat Cushions Chaise Cover Mechanisms Its uniqueness lies in the four-motor mechanism which maximises the range of postural and pressure management options: Independent Tilt in Space Independent Backrest Recline Independent Leg Rest Independent Rise Tilt and recline systems work predominantly by moving the persons centre of gravity which maintains posture and ergonomic support allows the pannus to be redistributed. This can be used to alleviate pressure, help the respiratory system and allow access for specific skin care tasks. The addition of independent leg rest and rise movements ensures an excellent range of postural and pressure management positions and support. Pressure Management The Arden Bariatric comes with our deeply comfortable three cushioned, waterfall back, all fibre filled. They can be easily repositioned on the back for the client’s individual requirements and can also have their firmness adjusted by adding or taking away fibres.For ease of cleaning and replacement the back cushions and covers are easily removable. Postural Support At the back of both the top and middle waterfall cushions sleeves are fitted to accommodate the blockers to provide additional postural support.
