What does Symmetrisleep® do?
Symmetrisleep enables people with movement problems to learn to lie straight. Therapists are finding that it can prevent distortion of body shape or even correct established problems when used as part of a 24 hour Postural Care Programme.
The system allows a gentle progressive approach to complex problems. Elements can be introduced gradually during the day and night as tolerance builds. Symmetrisleep is the first and only system that has been designed to provide the bio-mechanical rotational forces to improve chest shape where the necessary forces can be gently applied to counteract rotation.
- Adjustable, comfortable support for those who cannot move easily; family members and carers may be disturbed less frequently.
- Improved comfort reduces abnormality of tone during the night for easier nights and better mornings.
- Helps to maintain body symmetry and protects joints from the destructive effects of gravity.
- Infinitely adjustable for position, shape or age.
- Easy to fit. Easy to change between positions.
- Our own ‘Engineered’ fabrics reduce point pressures, reduce skin humidity and provide active temperature regulation.
Any mattress, any position, even sitting up!
With the Velcro sheet, pressure relieving Airmantle and stretchy sheet in place, the system is ready and the bed has a flat surface for easy transfer.
When the user is ready, the brackets and pillows that provide support are fitted. The system is quickly built up to support the client rather than having to fit the client to an existing form: carers find that it only takes a moment to get this right and fine adjustments can be made instantly.
Fitting the brackets is easy & intuitive with no fiddling about. Some carers prefer to fit them when the user has fallen asleep. Experience shows that even when away from home, staff quickly take instruction from parents on how to use the system successfully.
Remember- you can use Symmetrisleep by day as well as at night. If only used for 2 hours daily, that’s 730 hours of progressive passive therapy per year. If used for the whole night, that’s about 3000 hours at a time when the body is relaxed & most receptive.
