Areas of Application:

Description:
The i2i system was developed by Leslie Johnson Fitzsimmons, a physical therapist at Lakeview School in New Jersey, after testing all available assistive products and finding none provided the support her most severely impaired students needed.
The goal for users in the first group is to provide extensive support in all directions, especially forward.
The goal for users in the second group is to provide a system that provides satisfactory support to the side and back so that when they begin to stretch their neck, they are guided back to a centered position and do not get their head stuck or caught in head positioning or are not tempted to overextend their head backward due to the large surface area at the back of their head.
A special chin pad also makes the system suitable for tracheostomy patients. A gel insert in the neck area is available for sensitive patients.
Price (without guarantee):
The price is available on request from the manufacturer/distributor.
