Abstract:
A severely paralysed child whose trunk as well as both lower limbs is affected needs an aid for the basic needs of sitting, standing and other activities of daily living. Often a number of aids such as standing table, adapted chairs, commode etc., is required to meet basic needs. Special equipment has been designed for this multipurpose use, which does not occupy much space in a house and is portable. This equipment enables the parents to manage the handicapped child at home.
