And we’ve added so much more! Head Wider contoured headrest providing greater lateral support. Trunk Increased back height by 100mm (can be retro fitted to old Mygo seat bases but complete new backrest assembly is required). 2 armrest height options: Size 1: 160 – 210mm Size 2: 210 – 260mm. Pelvis Pelvic cradle and hip guide. Increased seat depth adjustment by 50mm. Depth of seat cushion increased to 50mm for improved pressure relief. Design of seat base cushion changed to be one piece cushion for improved comfort. Legs & Feet Greater windsweeping range: 30º abduction. Additional ramping...

Posture, Function & Comfort The Mygo Seating System’s ground breaking design is the culmination of over 25 years’ experience working with parents, therapists, technicians and kids from all over the world. It has been designed to allow therapists to optimise posture, function and comfort.

4. Larger contoured headrest 3. Contoured shoulder section / backrest extension 1. Pelvic Cradle and hip guides 2. Ramped one piece base cushion

1. Pelvic Cradle with independent hip guides provides more proximal positioning for children with high tone. 4. Larger contoured headrest which is compatible with a number of head supports, e.g. Otto Bock. 2. Ramped one piece base cushion to support the ischial tuberosities and help prevent the child sliding forward. Additional foam inserts can be used to accommodate fixed obliquity. 5. Leg support can accommodate both shortening and windsweeping. 3. Contoured shoulder section/ backrest extension for additional support for taller children. Size 2 can accommodate windsweeping up to 30º...

10. Adjustable lateral supports 6. 4 point pelvic harness 12. Adjustable armrests 7. Flexible sacral support 9. Adjustable back angle

6. The 4 point pelvic harness with integral hip guides gives a secure, stable base of support, is cushioned for comfort and can be adjusted to ensure a mid line position. 7. Flexible sacral cushion, which can be shaped to the contours of the lower back, supports the lower spine in the desired position by encouraging a degree of forward tilt in the pelvis and lower trunk extension. In cases of lumbar lordosis, the pelvic positioning system can help achieve a more neutral position, with the sacral cushion being designed to mould to the child’s shape and maintain a comfortable position. 8....

With its bright colours and clinical focus, Mygo has always been about fulfilling the postural and emotional needs of young children and their families. The new 2010 Mygo is able to help an even broader range of kids to carry out everyday functions at home, in the classroom or even out and about.

The adjustability of the new Mygo seating system provides clinicians with the tools to maximise: Pelvic stability Trunk and head alignment Leg and foot positioning “Seating systems are aimed at providing an appropriate level of postural support for each child, as well as offering comfort, skin protection and stability to enable daily functional activities to be carried out at home and at school. As postural control is a pre-requisite for most functional tasks, the inability to control posture has a significant impact on function” (Wright et al, 2010). Wright C, Casey J, Porter-Armstrong A....

Posture, Function & Comfort Pelvic stability The most important feature of any seating or mobility system is its ability to provide pelvic stability (for tilt, rotation and obliquity) as this gives the optimum base for trunk and head alignment and upper limb function. The Mygo Seating System has a range of unique features to support the pelvis for each individual’s postural needs. POSTURE PELVIC STABILITY CHALLENGES Posterior pelvic tilt Pelvic rotation HARNESSING FOR PELVIC STABILITY 4-point pelvic harness The multi-adjustable 4-point pelvic harness on the Mygo Seating System ensures...

SACRAL SUPPORT AND CUSHIONING FOR PELVIC STABILITY Integral to the Mygo Seating System’s pelvic harness is the flexible sacral support and hip guides. The flexible sacral support adjusts either to encourage a lumbar curve (neutral pelvis) or accommodate a posteriorly tilted pelvis. The hip guides provide lateral pelvic support, and encourage a midline position, but can also accommodate asymmetry by being off-set when needed. The generous seat cushion allows immersion of the ischial tuberosities, helping to prevent their forward excursion and providing pressure relief. Additional pads can be...

Posture, Function & Comfort Trunk and Head Alignment Seating systems need to provide appropriate trunk and head support because this contributes to the stability of the pelvis, and facilitates upper limb function, concentration, and social interaction. The Mygo Seating System’s trunk and head supports can be individually tailored to match the needs of each user. POSTURE TRUNK AND HEAD ALIGNMENT CHALLENGES TRUNK SUPPORT The Mygo Seating System’s flexible sacral support allows the sacral and lumbar regions of the spine to be supported or accommodated whether the spine is kyphotic or lordotic....
