Asiento Positioning Chair

Asiento has been designed specifically for children, teenagers and adults with moderate to complex needs. Created to achieve improved postural support and symmetry, the Asiento delivers many benefits to the user and those around them, including enhanced eye contact and communication,  improved interaction, breathing & eating and greater participation in play and activities. Developed alongside input from clinical professionals, Asiento has been designed to help the user achieve their full potential while increasing their self-esteem and well-being. With high adjustability, Asiento delivers excellent clinical benefits whilst being functional too.

Key features

• Durable - accessories are attached to the seat’s strong central column making the Asiento robust and sturdy.
• Dyanmic back (optional) - the dynamic back is pressure adjustable to provide the desired dynamic movement. This is great for users who require sensory and physical feedback whilst sitting.
• Closer contact - the open design of the chassis and pushbike handles allows carers to get close to the backrest. This is especially useful for upper-limb therapy, crossing midline, administering care and calming the user after an epileptic fit or when anxious.
• Quiet electric hi-lo base - with the electric hi-lo base, users can smoothly raise and lower the chair to the desired height with a user-operated remote control. It’s quiet too, helping those who are sensitive to sound.
• Easy to use tray - the universal tray is easily attached to the armrests. The tray adjusts with the armrests to allow for use on all seat widths and also in depth, providing the best fit possible for all sized users.
