Thomashilfen ThevoSiiS High Therapy Chair

More Information

• Purpose and use
  - Provides a stable and centered sitting position for the user. It gives a minimum of support in order to induce an active holding task
  - The floor contact of the feet, the firm seat surface, and the back rest give clear perception information and a sensible orientation. The user finds their body center and leads their arms and hands towards this center
  - Application studies made with children and adult users showed an improved hand-hand and eye-hand-coordination, and to some extent improved mouth closing and swallowing results. These abilities provide a vital edge in different areas, e.g. at home, in institutions or at home
  - The users appear more awake and significantly more involved in their environment and situation. The constant impulses, which lead to an upright sitting posture awaken pride and strengthen their self-esteem
• Basic requirements for the use
  - The user must have a minimum of support capacity in the legs
  - The user must have a minimum of trunk control which is activated by a corresponding stimulant (e.g. compensating movements, forward support of the arms) and can be changed towards normosone
• Safety checks and maintenance intervals
  - We recommend adjusting the ThevoSiiS growths settings at least every 3 months to best fit the user
  - If necessary, let your therapist help. Check all control elements and fastening screws monthly

  - High solar radiation may lead to high surface temperatures on the dark upholstery material
  - Be careful not to harm yourself when adjusting the height and depth of the iliac crest support or the impulse generators
• Positioning recommendation
  - The feet must always have firm contact with the floor and, in addition, be in a symmetrical position
  - Height adjustment – in order to accomplish the correct positioning of the knee and hip joints. The height of the seat has to be adjusted so the user has floor contact with their feet. In practice, a knee angle and hip angle above 90° has proven itself and achieved good body straightening results
  - Adjusting the body straightening and orientation impulse using the small, firm iliac crest support. It is positioned at the lower iliac crest – often in direct contact with this region. This iliac crest element can be adjusted individually in height and depth, as described in the brochure
  - Positioning the punctiform impulse generators: Each user reacts to individual stimulation points located between the lower part of the thoracic spine and below the shoulder blades. The impulse generators must be adjusted at height level of these points to initiate straightening of the trunk upon contact with the impulse generators.
