Benefits:
Great in the classroom, at home or in a sheltered workshop, Anchors are portable and sturdy, but not too heavy. The suction cup base fastens easily to any smooth, horizontal surface including wheelchair trays or stander trays.
Users with low tone receive support and develop strength for improved functional sitting. For users with high tone or movement disorders, the Anchor provides stability for increased functional use of the free hand and arm. Anchors promote inclusion and social development for the user.
Anchors are short-term positioning aids and are not intended for primary standing support or transfers.
Features
