Orthotic seat

摘要

A modular orthotic seat is made up of individual shells or modules that are adjustably connected together for accommodating changes in size of the user. The modules include a pelvic module for support of the thighs, pelvis and sacrum, a thoracic module for support in the thorax and lumbar regions, and a cervical-head support. The modules are mounted on a strut that permits adjustment between the modules. Suitable bedding or padding can be used for final custom fitting. An adjustable seat pan is provided for permitting adjustment of the supporting seat to accommodate angular variations of the pelvic regions of the user.
