Despite ongoing research, evidence and skills, pressure injuries still affect 1 in 5 patients across the continuum of care.*
Evidence Based Practice
The Four Principles of Clinical, Therapeutic Seating were established as a result of extensive research carried out by our clinical team to help clinicians and caregivers to reduce the risk and cost of care and improve comfort and quality of life for patients.
All clinical, therapeutic seating should have the necessary features which enable the Four Principles to be achieved:
These are:
- Load the body.
- Allow effective re-positioning.
- Provide postural support.
- Use an appropriate surface.
Should you require more information on the Four Principles, you can request a FREE copy of The Clinician's Seating Handbook, a practical guide to seating containing an overview of clinical research mentioned above, as well as the Four Principles and how you can apply these in your patient care.
