PRODUCT INFORMATION
CAR SEAT DESIGN LEAD TO
BASSETT'S LUMBAR SUPPORT
A back rest designed to be
used in cars, was seized upon by Danish occupational therapists and
used for patients in normal chairs and wheelchairs with excellent
results.
Coorabel. (a rehabilitation hospital) obtained one of these as a
prototype and it was in such demand by patients that the husband of one
patient experimented with the manufacture. Now after several trial
models he is producing one that is as good (if not better) then the
Danish model.

MANY SEATS INVITE BACK TROUBLE
Unfortunately, there are too
few well designed seats. This includes so called "easy chairs" and car
seat which may after a time contribute towards back trouble,
especially in the lumber region and also aggravate existing problems
because of incorrect posture which burdens the muscles and vertabrae
with undue strain.
LIGHT AND EASY TO CARRY
Extremely light and portable.
It weighs approx. 850 grams (1lb 14oz) and may be carried from one
place to another with almost no effort.
BASSETT'S LUMBAR SUPPORT
IS EASY TO USE ANYWHERE
Allow the air to circulate,
thus preventing undue perspiration, reduce clothing stain and rotting
of material while giving firm, comfortable support.
WORK POSITIONING OF VITAL
IMPORTANCE
"It has not only been useful
for arthritics ans patients with back injuries but also in general use
for work positioning and sitting"
extract reprinted from May,
1976 issue of the N.S.W Occupational Therapists Association Newsletter
