The RAZ Pelvic Alignment System: Revolutionising Posture and Comfort
Understanding pelvic alignment and its importance
Raz Design recognizes the importance of proper aperture positioning across their range of shower commode chairs. To address this major issue, they created the RAZ Ischial Pelvic Alignment System (IPAS).
Exclusive to Raz, the IPAS helps reduce the possibility of pressure injury at key pressure points by providing up to 2” of fore/aft seat adjustment or 1” of lateral seat adjustment. This means that the aperture can be more optimally positioned relative to the client’s ITs.
This is especially important for clients who sit with their pelvis in a rotated position for trunk stability. Which positions the ITs further forward, possibly contacting the front edge of the aperture. This can result in a pressure injury.
IPAS allows the aperture position be fine-tuned to meet the needs of the client. The Ischial Pelvic Alignment System (IPAS) is revolutionizing the way disabled people can achieve optimal pelvic alignment, comfort and mobility.
Mobility is a fundamental aspect of independence and quality of life for people with disabilities. Innovative technologies and assistive devices have continuously pushed the boundaries of what is possible. Enabling individuals to overcome physical limitations.
In this article, we explore the significance of IPAS and its transformative impact on the lives of disabled individuals.
