Product Use
Product Use/Directions Positioning and Therapy Wedges

Therapy wedges are practical, durable, and comfortable. Children and adults who need to increase tolerance to a prone position or improve proximal stability or head control can benefit from being positioned on a therapy wedge.

Therapy wedges have a versatile shape which is designed for gross motor activities such as tumbling, walking up or downhill, or creating comfortable environments for reading. The wedge needs to be used in a conjunction with activities that are fun and meaningful for the patient, so that the experience of being on the wedge is a positive one.

The patient works on head control as they lift their head to look at different focal points or items throughout the room. Weight bearing positions in prone improve strength and proximal stability. This position also helps to stretch muscles in the hips, knees, and shoulders.

Determining the size wedge to use

The front edge of the wedge should be the same height as the distance between the patient's wrist and their axilla (armpit) if weight bearing on extended arms is the objective.

The height of the front of the wedge should be a bit less than the distance from the patient's elbow to the axilla if weight bearing on the forearms is more appropriate for the patient.

The small end of the wedge should ideally be high enough off the ground so that the patient's feet can hang over the edge in a neutral position (to avoid plantar flexion contractures).
