Next in our Adaptive Accessories series, introducing the Split Legrest Option for our MultiAdjust Medium chairs.

Designed for exceptional comfort and flexibility, our split legrest system allows each leg to be adjusted independently, because we know that one size doesn’t always fit all.

✔ Independent leg elevation for tailored positioning
✔ Promotes circulation and personalised support
✔ Simple-to-use levers on each side
✔ Independent flip-up footplates
✔ Adjustable ankle angle, as standard on our MultiAdjust chairs

Whether for therapy, relaxation, or recovery, users can find their ideal position for all-day comfort and support.

Seating rarely fails because the chair is “wrong”; it fails when it isn’t truly matched to the person.

Join our upcoming webinar to explore a practical, assessment-led framework for personalising seating provision when standard prescriptions aren’t enough.

We’ll cover:
✔ Identifying the key drivers affecting posture, tolerance, and function
✔ Prioritising pelvic foundations while balancing trunk and lower-limb influences
✔ Recognising when complexity requires a more tailored approach
✔ Translating assessment findings into real-world solutions

You’ll also see how adaptive options can support comfort, stability, transfers, and everyday usability.
If you want to strengthen your clinical reasoning and deliver seating that works in real life, this session is for you.

Why assessment is the key to getting seating right.

Great seating solutions don’t start with equipment. They start with an assessment.

A thorough, assessment-led approach helps us understand posture, function, tolerance, and how needs may change over time, laying the foundation for seating that truly works in everyday life.

Our latest blogs highlight three core elements of effective assessment:
🔍 Clinical assessment – Turning detailed findings into informed, long-term positioning decisions
🌍 The ICF framework – Supporting a holistic, person-centred view of posture, activity, and participation
🤝 Collaborative assessment – Working with users, carers, and the MDT to create practical, meaningful solutions

Because when assessment is right, outcomes follow.

Case Study: Accommodating left–right knee range differences

Following a stroke, an individual presented with progressive pelvic asymmetry and increasing difficulty maintaining midline in sitting. Across the day, positioning deteriorated as the stronger side repeatedly dominated, requiring frequent correction.

🔍 Assessment insight
A clear left–right difference in knee range was the key driver. One knee tolerated extension comfortably, while the other had restricted range and rested at a different angle. This lower-limb asymmetry transferred directly into pelvic rotation/obliquity, leading to secondary trunk leaning.

🛠 Personalised solution
A split leg rest was prescribed to allow each leg to be positioned independently at its optimal angle. By accommodating asymmetrical knee range, lower-limb forces on the pelvis were reduced, creating a more stable pelvic base and improving midline sitting, without over-restriction and while remaining practical for daily care and transfers.

💡 Key takeaway
Lower-limb asymmetry can be a primary driver of pelvic malalignment. When independent leg positioning is required, a split leg rest can be a simple but highly effective solution to support consistent alignment and real-world usability.

Case study: Improving positioning by stabilising the pelvis

An adult with a long-term neurological condition was experiencing recurrent sliding, pelvic asymmetry, and reduced sitting tolerance. As fatigue and fluctuating tone increased through the day, trunk instability worsened—leading to frequent repositioning and breakdown in sitting.

Assessment insights
Lower-limb positioning was driving pelvic rotation, while fatigue contributed to progressive trunk collapse. The priority was clear: create a stable pelvic base that still worked in real-world use, including transfers.

The personalised solution
An assessment-led configuration using targeted adaptive accessories made the difference. A flip-down pommel combined with a contoured cushion supported pelvic alignment and managed lower-limb drift—improving trunk control while maintaining practical access for transfers.

Key takeaway
When pelvic stability and everyday practicality both matter, individualised, assessment-driven provision can transform sitting from repeated breakdown to a set-up that remains workable throughout the day.
