particular seating needs. The product's intended use statement alone should not be relied upon to make that determination.
The medical products featured in this document are intended to be only one part of an overall care regimen that includes all
seating and mobility equipment and therapeutic interventions. A clinician who is experienced in seating and positioning should
identify this care regimen after evaluating the individual's physical needs and overall medical condition.
A clinician should also evaluate for visual, reading, and cognitive impairment to determine the need for caregiver assistance or the
need for other assistive technology, such as large-print instructions, to ensure proper product use.
