Abstract
An analysis of the problems of available adaptive seating has led to the development of a modular seating system capable of assembly and adjustment without workshop facilities. Seven levels of sitting ability are defined and a methodical assessment procedure and prescription criteria for the provision of adaptive seating are described.Keywords
