Seating Lab – XSENSOR Pressure Mapping
Neuro Alliance is delighted to introduce our ‘Seating Lab’ service, designed to address and prevent pressure injuries in neurologically involved clients. This service is crucial for individuals at risk of pressure injury, providing a holistic approach to seating and pressure management.
What it is
The Seating Lab Occupational Therapists at Neuro Alliance conduct comprehensive assessments to identify predisposing risk factors for pressure injuries by utilising the cutting-edge XSENSOR Fore Site SS pressure imaging system. This system is not only medically certified but also incorporates accurate, reliable, and durable sensors.
