Posture 24/7 Details
Posture 24/7 is focused on raising awareness of 24 hour posture care management in the United States. With personal experience raising a child with disabilities ourselves, we promote the essential role of families and caregivers empowered with knowledge in order to successfully use 24 hour positioning as an effective intervention.People of all ages with impaired movement frequently develop problems like contractures, dislocated joints and scoliosis that result in diminished function and health complications. These can include but are not limited to respiratory and digestive issues, pressure and skin integrity problems, pain and more complicated feeding, hygiene, transfers and dressing. While we work to give people the best possible support in wheelchair seating systems during the day that is often where the effort ends. What happens when they are not in those seating systems? Is that "relaxed" position in the recliner detrimental? Could it be that sleeping all night in asymmetric postures is working against what we are trying to accomplish during the day? Understanding these issues and what can be done about them is what 24 hour posture management is all about! The United Kingdom and other developed countries are far ahead of us in recognizing the importance of 24 hour positioning as a non-invasive way to support the health and well-being of persons who have difficulty changing their positions easily, often and with variety throughout the day and night. Learn more about what you can do as a professional or family member in support of people you know, who can benefit from 24 hour posture care management.
