Posturecare
At PMG, we understand the importance of specialised wheelchair seating and 24-hour postural management for individuals with disabilities. Our comprehensive approach to posturecare encompasses a range of services and solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual.
Specialised wheelchair seating
Specialised wheelchair seating is designed to provide extra support for individuals who require mobility assistance due to postural instability or deformity. Our specialised clinical team (Physiotherapists, Regional Engineers and Therapists) conducts holistic assessments to understand the individual's lifestyle and aspirations, ensuring optimal postural advice and equipment provision when necessary. We work closely with clinicians to define 'prescription protocols' and create personalised Trust Handbooks to guide individuals and their carers.
Our provision process includes thorough assessment, prescription, fitting and delivery of specialised wheelchair seating. We prioritise education and training for both individuals and carers to maximise the benefits of all our equipment. Additionally, we liaise with our NHS partners, charities and carers to provide ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and reviews to ensure successful provision and address any changing needs.
24-Hour posture management
Our 24-hour posture management services address the need for support during both daytime and nighttime activities. Sleep positioning systems, in combination with specialised mattresses and adjustable beds, help maintain the body in a constant position during sleep and rest. We emphasise the importance of symmetrical lying positions to prevent muscle imbalances and reduce the risk of deformities.
Poor postural management can have wide-ranging consequences on various body systems and functions, impacting quality of life for both individuals and their carers. Our team is dedicated to providing comprehensive support to address these challenges and improve overall well-being.
