Description
Key Features
Dual-Level Elevation: The most notable feature is that the wedge has two different slopes. By simply flipping the wedge over, the elevation changes from 4 inches to 6 inches. This versatility allows therapists and caregivers to easily adjust the level of incline for different therapeutic activities without needing a separate wedge.
Integrated Lateral Support: The wedge is not flat; it has contoured side walls that provide lateral support to a child's trunk. This feature is crucial for helping to keep the user aligned and in a proper position, which is beneficial for developing head and trunk control.
Durable and Hygienic Construction: The wedge is made from high-density, shock-absorbing foam that is designed to retain its shape even with consistent use. It is covered with a seamless, non-toxic, and anti-microbial coating that resists odors, stains, and cracking, making it very easy to clean and sanitize.
Secure Positioning: A hook-and-loop (Velcro) strap is included to help secure the user in place and prevent them from sliding down the wedge during use.
Optimal Dimensions: The 2805A model is the smallest in the series, with a base of 18" W x 22" L and an inside width of 12", making it suitable for infants and toddlers.
Uses
The Tumble Forms 2 BiForm Wedge is a versatile therapeutic tool used by therapists and caregivers for a variety of purposes:
Gross Motor Development: It is widely used to facilitate the development of gross motor skills, such as head-lifting, rolling, and early crawling.
Postural Support: It provides a comfortable and supportive alternative to a flat surface for infants who need help with head and trunk control. It is also used to help break extensor patterns, encouraging a more flexed and relaxed posture.
Prone and Supine Positioning: In a prone (lying on stomach) position, the wedge can encourage weight-bearing through the arms, which helps to develop upper extremity strength and stability. In a supine (lying on back) position, it can be used to provide elevation for therapeutic purposes or for managing conditions like acid reflux.
Daily Activities: The wedge can also be used for more relaxed activities, such as tummy time or reading, while providing the necessary postural support.
