Within the past 10 years, technology has provided members of the seating team with new approaches in dealing with severely physically disabled children and adults. Positioning is often the first step in overall provision of technical aids. Before physically disabled individuals can operate augmentative communication devices, computer keyboards or other assistive or rehabilitative devices, they should be provided with the optimum seated posture from which to operate. The proximal stability provided by a therapeutically designed seating system will enhance motor potential. Presently, there are many approaches to providing dynamic seating. A thorough evaluation, with input from all team members including the client and his family is necessary to define clearly the goals for the seating device. Once these goals are defined, the team can investigate the possible technical solutions. Thorough ongoing re-evaluation and follow-up of both the client's needs and the possible technical solutions will ensure that persons with physical disabilities will be in the best possible posture to perform the tasks of daily living.
在过去十年中，技术为坐姿适配团队的成员提供了应对重度肢体残疾儿童和成人的新方法。体位摆放通常是全面提供技术辅助器具的第一步。在肢体残疾者能够操作辅助沟通设备、电脑键盘或其他辅助或康复设备之前，应先为他们提供最佳坐姿，以便于操作。经过治疗设计的坐姿系统所提供的近端稳定性将增强运动潜能。目前，有多种提供动态坐姿的方法。需要进行全面评估，并听取包括客户及其家人在内的所有团队成员的意见，以明确坐姿设备的目标。一旦确定了这些目标，团队就可以研究可能的技术解决方案。对客户需求和可能的技术解决方案进行全面持续的重新评估和跟进，将确保肢体残疾者能以最佳姿势完成日常生活任务。
