Description
Key Features
Dual-Elevation Design: The most distinctive feature of the BiForm wedge is its ability to provide two different elevation levels. By simply flipping the wedge over, the elevation changes from 6" to 8". This allows for easy adaptation to different activities and a user's changing needs without needing a separate wedge.
Integrated Lateral Support: The wedge is not flat. It has contoured sidewalls that provide crucial lateral support to the user's trunk. This feature helps to prevent rolling and keeps the arms positioned forward, which is beneficial for many therapeutic exercises and fine motor activities.
Durable and Hygienic: The wedge is constructed from high-density, shock-absorbing foam that is designed to retain its shape and firmness over time. It is covered with a seamless, non-toxic, and antimicrobial coating that is resistant to odors, stains, and cracking. This makes it easy to clean and maintain, suitable for both home and clinical environments.
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.
Optimal Dimensions: The 2805C model has a base of 22" W x 26" L and an inside width of 14", making it suitable for a range of users.
Uses
The Tumble Forms 2 BiForm Wedge is a versatile therapeutic tool used by therapists, caregivers, and individuals for a variety of purposes:
Gross Motor Development: It is widely used to facilitate gross motor skills like rolling, crawling, and "scooting."
Postural Support: The wedge provides a supportive and comfortable alternative to sitting for individuals who have difficulty with head, trunk, or balance control.
Prone and Supine Positioning: In a prone (lying on stomach) position, the wedge encourages weight-bearing through the arms and shoulders, which can help develop head-lifting and arm control. In a supine (lying on back) position, it can be used to create specific levels of elevation for relaxation or to manage conditions like acid reflux.
Breaking Extensor Patterns: The wedge's design is effective in helping individuals relax into a flexion pattern, which is a common therapeutic goal for those with high muscle tone.
Daily Activities: It can also be used for recreational and educational activities, such as reading or playing, while providing necessary support.
