Mygo Seating System

Age 3-14 Complexity moderate - complex

The New 2010 Mygo – Modular Mobility Seating for Children and Teens with Special Needs

“Seating systems are aimed at providing an appropriate level of postural support for each child, as well as offering comfort, skin protection and stability to enable daily functional activities to be carried out at home and at school. As postural control is a pre-requisite for most functional tasks, the inability to control posture has a significant effect on function.”

Pelvic Stability

The most important feature of any seating or mobility system is its ability to align or accommodate a range of pelvic positions. This gives the best possible base of support for trunk and head alignment and arm and hand function.

Sacral Support for Pelvic Stability

The flexible sacral support in the Mygo Seating System works with the hip guides and adjustable seat angle to provide the optimum achievable posture for the pelvis.

Trunk and Head Alignment

Trunk and head support contributes to the stability of the pelvis and facilitates arm and hand function, concentration and social interaction.

Flexible scoliosis can be managed by using the lateral supports in conjunction with the pelvic harness to provide 3-point positioning.

Leg and Foot Positioning

Tight hamstrings and unsupported feet can contribute to instability of the pelvis, and therefore the alignment of the trunk and head.

The leg guides can accommodate up to 30° windsweeping as well as ab and adduction.

Function

Although the Mygo Seating System is designed to maximise abilities through providing stable positioning, a number of additional features further improve function.

The chest harness with removable shoulder straps allows increased arm and hand function for table top activities, along with a tray for support at the front.
