FAQ's

What is Recline 180 used for?
Recline 180 provides full clinical positioning capability, allowing users to transition from a seated position into a fully supine position. It is designed for complex postural and care needs where maximum flexibility and pressure redistribution are required.

Who is Recline 180 suitable for?
It is suitable for users with complex clinical needs, including high tone, spasticity, or those who require frequent repositioning for comfort, pressure management, or care activities such as hygiene support.

How does Recline 180 support pressure management?
Tilt-in-space provides effective pressure redistribution during seated use, while full recline allows complete body repositioning. Together, these functions help reduce prolonged pressure in any single area and support 24-hour postural care strategies.

Do postural supports need adjusting when reclining fully?
Yes, postural supports should be reassessed and adjusted when moving between seated and supine positions, as body alignment changes significantly. This ensures continued comfort, safety, and effective support in each position.

Who should decide if Recline 180 is appropriate?
Selection should always be guided by an Occupational Therapist or specialist seating clinician following a full assessment. This ensures the configuration meets the user’s clinical, postural, and functional needs safely and effectively.

Description

Recline Kit (180°)

This configuration provides the highest level of clinical flexibility, combining tilt-in-space with full recline to 180°, enabling transition from seated to a fully supine position.

It supports full pressure redistribution and offers enhanced capability for managing complex needs, including high tone and spasticity. The ability to reposition fully within the chair can assist with hygiene care, unplanned events, and situations where reducing transfers is beneficial for both the user and carers.

Tilt-in-space continues to provide effective pressure management and postural stability during seated phases, while full recline enables complete body repositioning when required.

An important clinical consideration is that postural supports must be readjusted when moving into supine and again when returning to an upright position, as alignment changes significantly through these transitions.

Tilt-in-space at 45° underpins postural stability and pressure management, with recline extending capability to full supine positioning—introducing additional clinical considerations that must be managed as part of a complete seating system. Selection of the appropriate configuration should always be guided by an Occupational Therapist or specialist seating assessment to ensure safe and effective clinical outcomes.
