SAMC2795B Cushion Wedge 20X22X6 Tumble Forms Patterson
- These versatile wedges are ideal for gross motor activities such as rolling, tumbling and walking uphill or downhill. They also provide comfortable positioning for reading or fine motor activities. Can be used as an alternative to sitting when a child lacks head control, balance or trunk control. This wedge has a 20" X 22" base and is 6" high. Wedges 20" (51 cm) wide are the smaller series usually suited for preschool through young adult age levels. Wedge Heights are available at 4" (10 cm), 6" (15 cm), 8" (20 cm), and 10" (25.5 cm). They all have area foot prints of 20" (51 cm) wide x 22" (56 cm) long. Selecting a particular size will depend on the variety of activities planned and body measurements. Use shoulder width as a base measurement and allow for additional lateral support-blocking or sandbag support. Remember to consider extra width for a sense of security because the individual is above the floor plane. For some, this can be a challenge! Length selection should result in a surface long enough to approximately accommodate the body from sternum to the knees. Wedge height should be equal to or taller than a measurement from sternum to elbow. Knowing the person's height, Human Dimensions will help you estimate specific measurements such as forearms (armpit-to-elbow). The Optional Leg Abductor helps promote hip abduction in prone position. The Abductor promotes symmetry while bearing weight on the trunk and knees. Latex free.
