Tumble Forms 2 Adolescent Thera Wedge

When it comes to meeting the positioning needs of adolescents and small adults, it can often present more challenges when compared with children due to the greater size and weight involved. The Tumble Forms 2 Adolescent Thera Wedge is designed to be used with older children and young adults, allowing for easy prone and supine positioning.

What’s Included?

• 1 x Double-sided 43cm (17″) contoured wedge with ankle drop off
• 1 x Double-sided 30.5cm (12″) contoured wedge
• 1 x Abductor module
• 2 x Wrap straps

Adolescent Positioning

Positioning a larger person for therapeutic activities is more difficult simply because of his or her size. The Tumble Forms 2 Adolescent Thera Wedge provides dynamic therapy and proper positioning for adolescents and young adults, specially designed to meet their specific needs.

Dynamic System

This positioning system consists of two wedges, each contoured on one side and flat on the other. This contouring provides a supportive surface for the adolescent, providing proper prone and supine positioning with one wedge or both used together. When used together, the wedges can help break extensor patterns and relax the user into a flexion pattern.

Effective Therapy

Wedges are one of the most versatile therapy tools available, primarily used as alternatives to sitting when an individual lacks head control, sitting balance or the ability to adjust their trunk. There are many potential uses of wedges, limited by only the user’s circumstances. The potential use of wedges for therapy include:

• Promoting weight bearing on upper extremities (such as shoulders, elbows and extended forearms)
• Facilitating head raising and controlled movement
• Promoting extension of hips and knees
• Facilitating rolling skill
