Comfort versus positioning: What is the difference and can we have both?
In this 1-hour webinar, we will explore the clinical distinctions between comfort seating and posture-protecting seating systems. Through evidence-informed discussion and practical examples, participants will gain clarity on how seating choices impact posture, function, and long-term health outcomes.
We will examine the design features and intended use of comfort seating versus posture-protecting systems, and critically evaluate their implications for individuals with complex needs. The session will also support therapists in applying clinical reasoning to seating prescriptions, balancing comfort, alignment, and participation goals.
