POPE PM; BOWES CE; BOOTH E
DEV MED CHILD NEUROL , 1994, vol. 36, n° 3, p. 241-252 Doc n°: 65250 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : DF14 - POSITION ASSISE - EQUILIBRATION The most appropriate posture in which to support the person with severe disability and diverse symptoms as a result of complex pathology remains more a matter of opinion than the result of research. This work reviews some of the studies which have attempted to identify definitive criteria for seating in such cases. Factors relating to measurement and conditions which threaten to invalidate the results of research in this field are highlighted. A description of the Seating and Mobility (SAM) system is given, together with a report of the monitoring of nine children with cerebral palsy using the system for a period of three years. The difficulties inherent in this work are noted and questions for future considerations are raised. Langue : ANGLAIS Identifiant basis : 1994000277 |
