Choosing a care chair for spasticity means looking for more controlled positions, not a medical correction of posture.
Assessing Sollevita in the presence of rigidity, spasticity or difficult head control means understanding whether independent adjustments, Push Head, tilt and a custom seat can make the day more manageable.
In brief
- A care chair for spasticity should offer gradual movements and intermediate positions.
- The Push Head can help support the head better during rest, TV or personal care.
- Zero Gravity and tilt can help find a more stable, comfortable position.
- The vertical lift can help the caregiver during assistance and posture adjustment.
- The language should stay cautious: comfort and support yes, therapeutic correction no.
Gradual adjustments, not sudden movements
Moving a person with spasticity calls for care. A chair with movements that are too limited or hard to fine-tune can make it more difficult to find a tolerated position.
Using the Sollevita care chair makes it possible to combine backrest, footrest, tilt, height and Push Head. The advantage is being able to proceed in small changes, rather than forcing the body into a single posture.
Head support and Push Head
Supporting the head and neck can be essential when the head tends to lose its rest position or when the person struggles to keep their alignment. The motorised Push Head allows more precise adjustment.
Adjusting the headrest during reading, TV, rest or personal care can also make the caregiver’s work simpler. It does not replace specific clinical supports, but it can improve everyday comfort.
Seat, width and depth
Sitting well with spasticity calls for a well-proportioned seat. Sollevita can be configured with a 52 or 63 cm seat, suitable depth and capacities from 180 up to 350 kg depending on configuration.
Supporting the body for hours calls for a stable base. The triple-layer seat with pocket springs can offer more even support than a seat that gives way too easily.
Caregivers and lateral access
Assisting a person with rigidity often calls for lateral space and the right height. Removable, pull-out armrests and the vertical lift can help during positioning, hygiene, shaving, hair care or transfers.
Using the 180° bed or the stretcher function can be considered when the person needs to lie flat or when the caregiver needs a more accessible surface.
FAQ
Does Sollevita correct spasticity?
No. It neither corrects nor treats spasticity. It can offer more controlled positions and comfort within the daily routine.
Is the Push Head always enough for the head?
No. It can help with support, but specialist supports should be assessed with professionals when needed.
Is Zero Gravity useful?
It can help find a more comfortable position by raising the pelvis and legs, but it should not be presented as a treatment.
Why is the caregiver needed in the decision?
Because the person providing care knows which movements are difficult, which side works better and how much height matters.
Is the chair washable?
Yes, Sollevita has fully removable covers, with stain-resistant and washable fabrics and anti-fray edges.
For spasticity or difficult posture, describe which positions are tolerated, how the head is supported, who provides care, how long the person stays seated and which movements are delicate. Sollevita should be assessed on this information.
