Seating and Positioning Clinics do the custom molds, working with a Occupational Therapist. Best Wishes In a message dated 4/6/2013 1:38:42 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
I went to the chair repair shop yesterday to get my lateral supports fixed or find a new style. Mine come loose too often and I end up with a curved chest. It gets uncomfortable and my back and inside arms start to hurt. He suggested getting a new chair back, one molded to me. It's a heavy foam with a metal frame. It might be great, or it might be bad. My concerns are... Will it be strong enough to push my right ribs over enough to hold me straight up. The back wraps around your sides, so you do not need lateral supports, so I worry it will bother my inner and under arms. Plus, I've always had swing away lateral supports. So now I wont be able to move them to get transferred. Also, they are not cheap. I have a 20% co-pay, and there is no exchanges or refunds for custom work. If they work as hoped, I'd gladly pay for the whole thing. I've had nothing but trouble with these things ever since my back started to curve. Anyone have one of these backs? The repair guy said everyone loves them, but he is not the guy who makes them. I'll ask they guy who does, but hoped to hear from a user. My appointment is next month. Thanks, Greg
