The Importance of Proper Seating

21/10/14

Following on from another successful seating education day we have been asked for the link to the Seating Matters video regarding the research carried out on the effects of long term seating in residential care homes.  This short video explains why it is so important to be seated in the correct chair especially for those who are vulnerable and not able to change their position.

Proper seating does not have to cost the earth but when looking at purchasing a chair it should have, at the least the following basic options as standard

  • Seat depth adjustability
  • Back angle recline
  • Proper Width
  • Foot Support

having these options can make a huge difference to the quality of life in someones day.
