Tilt in Space

The Bluesky Healthcare Tilt in Space chair is perfect for people with hip and back flexion problems.  As the chair reclines, the leg rest moves up to support the legs from behind the knees, while at the same time the backrest begins to recline. To allow conformity of body position the recline action is in one continuous movement so that the reclining occurs as a tilt in space action. The flow of the chair allows the leg rest to raise substantially above the hips while the backrest reclines to 40 degrees. The Tilt in Space is available in the one frame size -medium.

The Tilt function is aimed at clients who can't or struggle to independently shift their body weight. When you can't independently adjust your position or shift your weight while seated in an upright position, you are at a high risk of skin breakdown. You will also find that your usual sitting tolerance is compromised due to the inability to shift and redistribute pressure.

This is where a Tilt in space function can assist you with change your position and shifting weight whilst remaining  in a comfortable and secure position. Through redistributing your weight you also reduce the risk of sores and skin breakdown.

The reason why it can be hard to maintain a good posture is partly due to gravity. Whilst sitting in an upright position such as a chair, gravity pushes down on the body and caused the pelvis to slide forward if your muscle strength or overall strength is lacking. By using the tilt function the force of gravity is used to keep you seated in a correct position in your chair.

Tilt in Space can also assist with providing support for people who are at risk of

- Respiratory complication, which is when a client f falls into postural collapse due to an inability to maintain an upright posture

- Digestive Complication, postural collapse can compromise the digestive system

- Postural Hypotension, a drop of blood pressure when the person is in an upright position, which can lead to dizziness or loss of consciousness
