Children who are at high risk of hip subluxation benefit from use of 24 hour postural management where the position they sleep in is managed alongside the physiotherapy they under go during the day.MyPal consists of a series of blocks and adjustable supports to help maintain a better hip position in lying. The material is breathable, washable and resistant to bacteria proven. (Jim providing the product name which is well know for these properties) While children are using the block, their position can be changed without removing components. It can be used for supine and side-lying, either for daytime or sleeping, either on the floor or in bed. Some children can move supine to side lying without assistance. The freedom factor is very useful during the night. There has been research into reducing the risk of hip subluxation in certain groups of children. As a result, there continues to be professional support in the use of 24 hour postural management strategies. Summary of product:
