Specialist Chairs for Acquired Brain Injury
Specialist seating designed to improve comfort, posture and independence
An acquired brain injury can have a life-changing impact, sometimes affecting mobility, muscle control, balance, posture and coordination. These changes can make everyday sitting and moving more challenging. The right chair can provide the comfort, support and stability someone needs, helping them feel more secure when sitting and making changes in position and transfers easier.

Exceptional quality and service”
How specialist seating helps people with a brain injury
Everyone's needs after a brain injury are individual. Some people may experience difficulties maintaining their posture, getting comfortable for long periods or transferring safely, while others may need additional support due to changes in mobility or fatigue. Specialist seating can help by providing the right level of support for each person, making everyday sitting and movement feel easier and more manageable.
Improves body alignment
Supportive seating helps maintain a more stable and aligned sitting position, offering comfort for the head, trunk and pelvis.
Supports posture and positioning
Postural support for individuals who have difficulty maintaining their position independently or have experienced changes in muscle control.
Enhances comfort
Supportive cushioning and appropriate positioning can help improve comfort for people who spend extended periods sitting.
Assists safer transfers
Rise and recline functions can make sitting down and standing up easier for people.

Supports stability and confidence
A well-supported chair can provide greater stability when seated, helping individuals feel more secure.
Adapts to changing needs
Needs can change, so adjustable specialist seating can adapt as posture, mobility, comfort and support needs evolve.
