Night Positioning | Enable Ireland. "There are approx 8760 hours in a year - 7620 hours spent with the family, 1440 hours spent in school and 3600 spent in bed. " John and Liz Goldsmith Symmetrisleep Night positioning is a key part of any 24-hour postural management program for people who cannot independently alter their position during the night and therefore are at risk of developing an asymmetric posture. Individuals who have difficulty moving, difficulty changing position, and who are unable to sit, stand or walk independently are at risk of developing deformities and contractures of the hips and of the spine, due to their imbalance of muscle tone and inability to move out of poor positions. If these difficulties are left unchecked, they can lead to discomfort and pain, structural changes in joints, tissue breakdown, breathing and digestive difficulties.

The supports built into the bed ensure that the person maintains the position they are placed in, while they sleep comfortably. What does a Sleep System include? Spica.

For patients with complex neuromuscular conditions, such as cerebral palsy, providing stability has been the hallmark for seating and positioning. Kinesio® Taping is a method of functional taping which has a variety of applications designed to assist the body to hold a joint or position, increase proprioception and body awareness, and/or position a part of the body in better alignment. This tape has long been used in the orthopedic and athletic training fields to augment traditional treatment with great success. These applications may be used for the complex neurologic patient to promote desired alignment for 24 hour positioning while simultaneously inhibiting destructive postures and incorporating the benefits of dynamic supports into their seating and positioning.
