CAPS II Seating System

CAPS II Seating System

CAPS II is a modular postural seating system designed for children and adults who need structured, configurable seating support. 
 
It can be used to support users with complex postural needs, where pelvic stability, trunk control, shoulder positioning and head control may all need to be considered as part of the seating prescription. 
 
The system is designed to help clinicians, rehabilitation engineers and wheelchair services support comfort, posture, stability and function in daily sitting. Depending on individual need, CAPS II can be configured with a range of postural supports, custom components and dynamic seating options
 
Where appropriate, the dynamic backrest option allows the user to move into extension and then return to the set seating position. Dynamic footrest options are also available to help absorb lower limb extension. 
 
CAPS II can be adapted around the individual, with adjustment for growth, custom sizes and a range of prescription options. Lynx backrest options can also be discussed with the Active Design team where they are relevant to the seating aim.

Order Process

We recommend speaking to Active Design before completing a CAPS II prescription form
 
A short conversation at the start can help clarify the user’s needs, the clinical aims of the seating system, the intended wheelbase, the use environment and any specific requirements around posture, growth, dynamic movement or custom components. 
 
The CAPS II prescription form can then be used as a structured checklist to capture the details needed for configuration. 
 
The process usually involves: 
Discussing the client’s postural and functional requirements with Active Design 
Confirming key measurements, wheelbase details and intended use 
Selecting the required seating components and support options 
Identifying whether dynamic seating features are required 
Confirming any custom sizes or custom component requirements 
Providing drawings or additional information where a more bespoke component is needed 
 
Once the information is received, the Active Design team will review the prescription and advise on the most appropriate configuration where needed. 
 
This helps make the ordering process clearer, reduces the risk of missing important details and supports a more collaborative approach between the clinician, rehabilitation engineer and Active Design.
