Nighttime Positioning
Nighttime positioning can be a vital component in the overall postural management and care of individuals with severe motor impairments. Assistive Technology clinicians recommend specific positioning of the body. This can help the individual maintain a stable, symmetrical, comfortable position throughout the night. Proper positioning can have a direct impact on health and safety, maintenance of range of motion, reduction in risk for developing additional orthopedic deformities, minimization of pressure areas, and improved duration and quality of sleep. |
