Definitions

  • Therapy chairs of the type mentioned here are used to treat children and adults also with neurological and / or orthopedic symptoms.
  • Known therapy chairs are designed so that they allow physically impaired persons despite the impairments sitting. However, the respective person is not mobile on such a therapy chair or at least considerably restricted in mobility.
  • the invention is an object of the invention to provide a therapy chair, which not only allows the sitting despite the physical impairments, but also provides the physically disabled person a most extensive mobility.
  • a therapy chair to solve this problem has the features of claim 1. Accordingly, the base frame is movable and the seat formed in the manner of a riding seat.
  • the riding seat ensures an abduction of the thighs; facilitates neurological and / or orthopedic impaired persons who can still use their legs at least to a limited extent, the independent sitting on the therapy chair. Due to the movability of the therapy chair, the persons sitting on the riding seat can move themselves with their legs, whereby the therapy chair according to the invention is not only used for therapeutic purposes; Rather, the mobility of the person ensures at least limited. The person can thereby develop as much as possible in their independence.

Abstract

Les fauteuils de thérapie actuels offrent des positions auxiliaires thérapeutiques limitées et nuisent à la mobilité de la personne assise sur le fauteuil de thérapie. Le fauteuil de thérapie selon l'invention dispose d'un cadre de base (10) mobile, ce qui permet de conserver au maximum la mobilité de la personne assise sur le fauteuil de thérapie. L'assise du fauteuil de thérapie se présente sous la forme d'un siège à califourchon (11) qui entraîne une régulation de rotation de la personne assise dessus et la personne assie est ainsi obligée de se redresser d'elle-même. Ainsi le fauteuil de thérapie selon l'invention offre la meilleure adaptation aux personnes souffrant d'un handicap physique et de tout âge, sauf les enfants.
