Abstract

This paper describes a case study in designing a compliant seat for a child with severe whole body extensor spasms and epilepsy who was previously unseatable. A seat was designed for the child based on a saddle seat design using dynamic foot and back rests. When using the seat, the child showed reduced muscle tone and improved head and hand control.
