Description
Key Features
Dual-Elevation Design: The most notable feature is that the wedge has two different slopes. By simply flipping the wedge over, the elevation changes by 2 inches, offering greater versatility for different therapeutic activities and a child's changing needs.
Built-in Lateral Support: The wedge is not flat. It has contoured side walls that provide lateral support to the trunk and help keep a child's arms in a flexed, forward position, which is beneficial for many therapeutic goals.
Durable and Hygienic: The wedge is made from a high-density, shock-absorbing foam that retains its shape even with heavy use. The seamless, non-toxic coating is antimicrobial, resisting odors, stains, and cracking, and is easy to clean.
Versatile Positioning: A hook-and-loop (Velcro) strap is included to secure the user in place. The wedge can also be used in conjunction with other Tumble Forms wedges to create more complex positioning systems for various prone and supine activities.
Optimal Dimensions: The 2805D model has a large base of 22" W x 26" L and a 14" inside width, making it suitable for larger children and adults.
Uses
The Tumble Forms 2 BiForm Wedge is a versatile tool for therapists, caregivers, and individuals in both clinical and home settings. Its uses include:
Gross Motor Activities: The wedge is excellent for facilitating gross motor skills. It can be used for activities like rolling, tumbling, and "walking" up or down a slope.
Postural Support: It provides a comfortable alternative to sitting for children who lack head, trunk, or balance control.
Prone and Supine Positioning: In a prone (lying on stomach) position, the wedge encourages weight-bearing through the shoulders, elbows, and forearms, which can help a child develop head-raising and controlled arm and hand movements. In a supine (lying on back) position, it can be used to create various levels of support and positioning.
Therapy and Rehabilitation: The wedge is used in therapy to encourage trunk rotation, break extensor patterns, and help individuals relax into a flexion pattern.
Daily Activities: It can also be used for more relaxed activities, such as reading or fine motor tasks, while providing necessary support.
