  • Title: A seating position for a cerebral-palsied child.
    Author: Carrington EG.
    Journal: Am J Occup Ther; 1978 Mar; 32(3):179-81. PubMed ID: 636973.
    Abstract:
    An alternate seating position for the cerebral-palsied child who is less impaired in the lower extremities than in the upper extremities is discussed in this article. A straightback wooden chair adapted with armrests, a hip restrainer, and a lapboard with a removable midsection panel, plus an elevated slantboard, provided versatility and was functional as well. This adapted seat not only permits the child greater selfmobility but offers a basic, proper position for activities such as reading, self-feeding--with some assistance, typing, writing, or playing--in other words, proper posture, self-propulsion, eye-foot and eye-hand skills are facilitated.
