The TherAdapt Adjustable Classroom Chair has a simple, unique design offering support to stabilize the legs and pelvis in a manner that promotes erect spinal alignment. The seat is angled slightly downward (10 degrees). This encourages an anterior pelvic tilt and extension through the lumbar region (low back). This pelvic position is the foundation for the normal physiologic curves of the spine during healthy upright posture. This is especially important for children with low muscle tone and decreased core strength who often round their backs in sitting, with a posterior pelvic tilt and forward head (often referred to as “C” sitting).
"I really love the results in sitting posture I see with students who typically sit with a flexed trunk and hyperextended neck in a regular chair. They get excited when I bring them their "race car chair". Their classmates wish they had "race car chairs" too!" Carol Keller, PT Derby, KS
The TherAdapt Adjustable Classroom Chair is available in 3 sizes- Early Intervention (ACC-100), Primary (ACC-200), and Intermediate (ACC-300). It is appropriate for children with mild to moderate physical involvement up to 150 lbs.(68kg). Each chair is height adjustable using 4 sets of predrilled holes. All adjustments are made using pre-drilled holes and a stem bolt with hand tightened knob assembly. Using the same-paired holes on both the front and back creates a seat angle with a 10 degree downward slant and is the recommended seat angle for this chair, however other angles are possible using other pairings of holes. The Adjustable Classroom Chair comes standard with depth adjustable knee pads, sacral (low back) block and adjustable pelvic positioning belt with a side release buckle. With its angled seat and supportive padded knee blocks, clinicians have found this is an excellent place to practice and progress the sit to stand transition as children have increased confidence shifting their weight forward over knees that are well stabilized. It is also a great place to practice reaching and trunk rotation activities for core strengthening. The seat itself is extremely stable encouraging independence in getting on and off the chair. This provides a motor planning activity well suited as a developmental step towards learning to get onto and off a less stable ride on toy or tricycle. The mid-section of the chair can also act as a postural guide for children with adductor spasticity (increased muscle tone of the muscles of the inner thigh that pulls knees together or crosses legs). The knee blocks help maintain this neutrally aligned position of the legs and provide sensory feedback for enhanced motor learning. Pairing this chair with an Extended Easel with Leg Set found in the Accessory Section creates an optimal configuration of support for a well aligned posture as a child works at their school desk.
Options for the TherAdapt Adjustable Classroom Chair include:
The optional TherAdapt Padded Seat Pad is constructed of suede Naugahyde and provides a cushioned, slip resistant surface for increased comfort and encourages increased sitting time. It attaches to the seat with hook and loop fasteners.
The optional Sacral Pad is constructed of Naugahyde and provides increased comfort and encourages increased sitting time. It slips over the sacral block (low back support) and attaches with hook and loop fasteners.
NOTE: The Adjustable Classroom Chair is not designed for users with either a fixed thoracic kyphosis or scoliosis, limited hip range of motion, or a history of hip dislocations. It should be evaluated by a licensed therapist and the user should be monitored for fatigue secondary to the dynamic nature of the chair.
