Hi,
We have been given a specialist chair from our OT called a Krabat Jockey, made by R82. It is the first one to be used in our area and our OT has given us all the reasons for the chair, mostly he is aiming to avoid hip surgery in the future, although there are more advantages than that. However he has never used one before and we are concerned about the disadvantages. They are unknown. Its a saddle seat, which pulls his legs down underneath himself. He loves it and seems very comfortable in it but has to work hard. Doe anyone have any thing like this – A chair which is a saddle seat? How is it going and what do you think?
