Specialist Chairs for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)
Specialist seating designed to support posture, stability and progressive care needs
Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a rare neurological condition that can affect balance, posture, eye movement and mobility. As the condition progresses, people may experience increasing difficulty with sitting safely, maintaining posture and managing transfers. Specialist seating can help provide stable support, improve positioning and reduce strain, while also assisting carers with safer repositioning and daily care.

This can support safer transfers, reduce physical strain and help maintain dignity and wellbeing.

Supportive seating helps reduce the risk of slipping or unsafe positioning during sitting and movement.

Stable positioning helps maintain alignment as balance and muscle control change over time.
Enhances comfort
Pressure-relieving support helps reduce discomfort during prolonged sitting.
Assists transfers
Rise and recline functions help make sitting and standing safer and less physically demanding.
Reduces strain
Supportive seating helps minimise physical effort during movement and repositioning.
