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.
