Dear List,
I have been asked to help a kindergarten aged child with OI. Soon to have a
femur rodded and spica cast for the requisite healing time. The request was
to find a mobility device that might allow some upright posture during class
times as well as recumbent and side lying positions. My imagination
envisions a tilt table type device on a wheelchair frame, possibly even
allowing self propulsion.
Is there a device of this type commercially available?
Thank you for your prompt replies, the surgery is scheduled for April 3.
Regards,
