Positioning means

Positioneringsmiddelen inleidingIn building the wheelchair and the choice of the right (customized) seat and back, we spend a lot of time to achieve the most optimal seating position. As soon as this has been found, it is important to maintain this position.

Therefore, the application of one or more positioning means may be necessary. Our wide choice of fixation products offer a solution here and offer optimal comfort. The perfect support for both the upper body and the right support of the pelvis. Also position means for ankles and feet are available. All Veldink4kids wheelchair positioning means are easy to adjust and are made of comfortable, breathable, fabrics for maximum comfort.

Click on one of the choices below ( bars) for more information.

 

Seats

Adapt is designed to work with any seating system, including our own, Spex, Jay, Versa Inserto, or any number of moulded inserts, creating a robust and visually appealing alternative to the agricultural products traditionally offered for this client base..

Versa Custom

 

All our Kiddo Seats are always manufactured to the measurements of the child. An optimal seating position for every child and a good functionality of the wheelchair is one of the most important tasks for Veldink4kids. And an optimal seating support is for each child differently. for that reason every seat cushion is made individually and there is a wide choice of options and configurations. Possibly expanded with additional seat and body supporting accessories.

Standard seat cushions are equipped with a 2-layer foam system for optimum pressure distribution and comfort. The seat can be upholstered with different fabrics. For example, the spacermesh black fabric, black stamskin, or black neopreen. Also inlays (covers) for incontinence protection are available. Standard, the cushions are upholstered with black spacermesh (breathable fabric) with Cordura finished edges.

  • Anatomic
    The most chosen seat model! Our anatomically shaped seat that ensures proper posture and good pressure distribution.

Kiddo zitkussens 1 Eng

  • Ergo Seat
    For children who tend to slide forward the ergo seat can be of great help. Due to the lowered seating part the child can maintain a correct seating position.

Kiddo zitkussens 2 Eng

  • Wedge Removable
    The removable abduction wedge (pommel) prevent abduction of the legs. The abduction pommel is mounted underneath the seat and can easily be removed if needed.

  • Wedge Foldable
    The swing-away abduction wedge (pommel) prevent abduction of the legs. The abduction pommel is integrated in the seat cushion and can be easily folded down, if needed.

Other Seat cushions modifications:

Seat with tailbone recess: This seat has a deepened and soft section below the tailbone and provides protection against pressure sores. In addition to comfort, this also helps prevent the user from sliding forwards, which means that the pelvis stays to the rear where it is properly supported.

Leg lenght difference: Can be used as desired both leftside or rightside, at the front of the seat.

Seat provided with memory foam: The seat can be fitted with a top layer of memory foam. This gives extra comfort and relieves pressure points. Memory foam reacts to body heat. The foam will therefore be softer and smoother where your body is warmer. This will relieve your pressure points.

Backs

For the correct positioning and optimal support a perfect backrest is of great importance. That is why the choice of backrest is entirely individual and completely adjusted to the users needs. The one piece (custom made) backrest is the most chosen backrest. It’s anatomically shaped with or without integrated side supports and upholstered with breathable fabric (black spacermesh finisched with Cordura edges).

The back cushions can be upholstered with different fabrics. For example, the spacermesh black fabric, black stamskin, or black neopreen. The Kiddo Classic and Tilt  can be provided with a  Tarta Wheelchair Backrest

Standard, all the cushions are upholstered with black spacer-mesh (breathable fabric) with Cordura finished edges. For other backrests and side supports look below.

 

  • Separated Back Pads
    Ergonomics was the starting point in the development of our two piece split back. Like two hands wich support the back, each part is perfect adjustable. The PU (black) foam pad is available in three sizes.  Size S, M & L.

  • Two Piece Split
    The custom made split back parts (with integrated side support) are upholstered with black spacermesh fabric. Ergonomics was the starting point in the development of our two piece split back. Like two hands wich support the back, each part is perfect adjustable.

  • One Piece Anatomic
    One piece back (anatomicaly shaped) upholstered with black spacermesh fabric and fully tailored to the child. For additional support and safety this back can be equipped with fixed or swing away side supports. They are adjustable in height and width for optimal positioning. The swing away system can also swing away from the side cushion up to 180 degrees.

Wheels & Hoops

All our wheelchairs are equipped with spoked rear wheels ( size 20 “22” 24 “or 26”) with black tyres. The rear wheels are quick and easy to disassemble using the quick-release axles. For tires, there is a choice of pneumatic ‘air’ tyres or black solid PU leak proof tyres.  As an option can also be chosen for our ‘outdoor’ tire. The Outdoor Schwalbe Road Cruiser is functional on rough terrain and gives a cool look! (all sizes available, 20″ 22″ 24″ of 26″)

 Ergo Grip hoops

Veldink hoops are synonymous to ERGO grip hoops! The most popular hoops on all of our wheelchair models. We came up with a design that is in line with the anatomy of the hand! Moreover, we use a material that is softer, and has better non-slip and heat insulating properties. This material (polyurethane) is highly resistant to impact, abrasion and puncturing by obstacles.

Aluminum Hoops instead of Ergo Grip?
Of course, if desired, we can replace the standard Veldink4kids Ergo Grip hoops with ordinary aluminum hoops. These aluminum hoops can be equiped with a spacer to the rim. And can also be fitted with tetra controls knobs.

Mud Cruiser

Forget staying home on those rainy days…. Together through the mud and enjoy it! Which is now very easy with our new ‘Mud Cruiser’. Our new handy outdoor wheel system for your Kiddo. Just clamp the Mud Cruiser (without tools) in a few seconds on the front wheels of your wheelchair and off you go! Be with nature, go wild. This outdoor wheel system is easily adjustable in width and therefore grows with the chair. So many years of enjoyment.

Hip Belts

The right hip belt ensures a good posture and thus ensures better functionality. Hip belts help prevent slumping of the user in the wheelchair. There can be chosen for a 2 -point hip belt which is attached to the wheelchair at 2 points or a 4 -point hip belt. The 4 -point belt is attached to the wheelchair at four points and keep the pelvis tighter if this is desired.


Heupgordels ENGPositioning hip belts


By default, the belts are equipped with a side closure buckle. However, it is also possible to execute this with other closure buckles. See the pictures below.Positioning buckles 3


PELVI-loc 3D-belt

All our wheelchairs can be provided with a Pelviloc fixation system. The pelvic pads are 3 – dimensional shape, for optimum fixation of the pelvis without pressure on the spine anterior superior. Formed shape with ultra thin end at the moulded seat fixing point to avoid lateral pressure marks at the pelvis. Prevents lateral pressure points on the pelvis. The ratchet will run in addition to a strap to prevent injuries.

  • If an additional support is desired may be selected for a breast fixation (chest harness). The chest harness ensure that children are properly held against the backrest.

    The vests can be performed with both flexible straps and solid straps . The straps on the flexible implementation are elastic and therefore flexible (give). Additionally, you can choose between a male and a female model. It is also possible to extend the harness with a zipper in the middle of the harness and the standard side closure buckles can be replaced with other closures.

    Spacer bar on headrest for correct mounting of chest harnesses

    For an optimal positioning of the various vests a special spacer bar can be mounted on the headrest system. This may affect the shoulder straps better positioned over the shoulders!

A groin harness prevents a child sink into the wheelchair. The groin harness can be performed with both flexible straps as solid straps. The straps on the flexible model are elastic and therefore flexible (give). In addition, you may opt for a T-model or a Y-model. The Y-model allows for any abduction. All the models are equipped with side closures for easy and quick loosening.

There can be selected for a Velcro closure or a toothed buckle closure. In addition, a ankle hugger (fixation) (image at the right) may optionally be mounted with a Velcro or a buckle closure.

Headrest (system)

Our different types of headrests provide optimal head position combined with the right support. The headrest is adjustable in angle, height and depth. Of course we do, if desired, completely custom made headrests.

Our own Veldink4kids fastening system (RVS) is easily adjustable and makes the headrest easy to adjust to the right position and desired lenght. By choosing for a stainless steel embodiment, the strength and the position is assured. Thus the headrest can be adjusted properly and will always remain good. The system is mounted on the back of the seat and is removable.

One-arm-drive systems

Children with hemiparesis or tetraparesis, one arm significantly less power and functionality than the other, often tend to do many things one handed. Special for these children, we offer two different facilities. This is a double hoop and a Hemi handlebar grip.

 Hemi handle bar

For hemiplegic children a steering handle can be fitted to the basic model (left or right). Children with spastic hemiplegia generally tend not to use the affected side. However, we still attempt to exercise the affected arm in a functional manner using a steering handle. If there is contact between the hand and the steering handle, which changes position in line with the direction, then the hand will also move. This ‘forced’ movement is actually a sensor-motor function exercise, which may result in an improved function of that side. Furthermore, the symmetrical pattern can be advanced.

Dooble Hoop

The double hoop drive ensures that the child can steer and propel the wheelchair with one arm. The wheels are driven by an central shaft which is disposed in the transverse tube of the frame. An extra push hoop can be fitted to the wheelchair wheels on the left or right hand side. If desired, the band brakes can also be provided with a one-handed operation.

 

With both attachments you can

  • steer and propel the wheelchair with one arm!
  • Extra push hoop can be fitted to the wheelchair wheels on the left or right hand side.
  • Available for all ‘Kiddo’ models!
