Description
Universal Size: The side lyer is designed to accommodate a wide age range, from preschool-aged children to adolescents. Its dimensions are typically a 42" long by 23" wide base, with a 9" high backrest and a 14" deep body section.
Angled Base: The base of the side lyer is uniquely angled upward. This feature utilizes gravity to help position and stabilize the child, minimizing the need for constant monitoring by a caregiver or therapist.
Soft, Adjustable Straps: The product includes two soft, adjustable straps that allow for a wide range of positioning options. These straps can be infinitely adjusted to provide a secure and comfortable fit for the user.
Durable and Hygienic: Like other Tumble Forms products, the side lyer has a seamless, "butter-soft" upholstery that is non-toxic, anti-microbial, and resistant to odors, urine, and stains. This makes it easy to clean and sanitize for use in various settings. It is also latex-free.
Promotes Developmental Goals: Side-lying is a fundamental developmental building block for activities like rolling and crawling. The side lyer helps to decrease abnormal extension, maintain shoulder protraction, and bring the arms to a midline position, all of which are important for developing gross and fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
Optional Accessories: The side lyer can be used with optional accessories such as block modules (not included) that can be used as a headrest or for leg abduction.
Positioning: It is primarily used to position neurologically impaired children and adolescents in a secure and comfortable side-lying position. This is particularly useful during rest or short periods of inactivity.
Therapy and Rehabilitation: Therapists use the side lyer to facilitate a number of therapeutic goals, including improving head control, enhancing arm and hand function, and encouraging proper body alignment. It is also used to help break extensor patterns and promote flexion.
Gross and Fine Motor Skills Development: The side-lying position helps to put a child in a position that encourages them to engage their hands at the midline, which is a crucial step for developing fine motor skills and coordination.
Postural Drainage: It can be used for postural drainage, a technique used in physical therapy to help clear secretions from the lungs.
Reduced Caregiver Strain: The product's design, which uses gravity and includes adjustable straps, minimizes the amount of time a caregiver needs to spend actively monitoring the child's position.
