Description
Key Features
Dual-Level Elevation: The most distinguishing characteristic of this wedge is its ability to provide two different elevation angles. By simply flipping the wedge over, the elevation changes from 8 inches to 10 inches. This allows therapists and caregivers to easily adjust the level of incline for different activities and a user's specific needs without requiring multiple wedges.
Integrated Lateral Support: The wedge is not flat. It has contoured side walls that are molded into the shape, providing built-in lateral support to the user's trunk. This helps to maintain proper alignment, prevent rolling, and keep the user's arms in a forward position, which is beneficial for many therapeutic exercises.
Durable and Hygienic Construction: The wedge is made from high-density, shock-absorbing foam that is designed to retain its shape even with long-term, heavy use. It is covered with a seamless, non-toxic, and anti-microbial coating that is resistant to odors, stains, and cracking. This makes it easy to clean and sanitize for use in both clinical and home settings.
Secure Positioning: A hook-and-loop (Velcro) strap is included to help secure the user in position and prevent them from sliding down the wedge during use.
Optimal Dimensions: The 2805B model has a base of 18" W x 22" L and an inside width of 12", making it a medium-sized option 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 Activities: It is used to facilitate gross motor skills like rolling, tumbling, and crawling, and can assist in "up and down" movements.
Postural Support: It provides a comfortable and supportive 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 control and upper extremity strength. In a supine (lying on back) position, it can be used to create specific levels of elevation for relaxation, to manage acid reflux, or for other therapeutic goals.
Breaking Extensor Patterns: The wedge's design is effective in helping individuals with high muscle tone relax into a flexion pattern, which is a common therapeutic goal.
Daily Activities: It can also be used for more relaxed activities, such as reading or playing, while providing the necessary postural support. The ability to nest multiple wedges together provides even more positioning options.
