Positioning: Frequently Asked Questions
Start with the task and where the aid will be used. Compare its dimensions, construction and intended use with the chair or bed, and ask your treating team about any clinical positioning requirements.
Check its dimensions, shape and manufacturer's intended use against your bed or seating arrangement. Ask your treating team whether it suits your individual needs rather than choosing solely from a comfort description.
Use it for transfers only if the manufacturer specifically allows that use. Ask an occupational therapist or care provider about the equipment and assistance needed.
