1. INTRODUCTION
The Netti Dynamic System Concept:
What is Netti Dynamic Seating?
Netti Dynamic System is a tilt and recline wheelchair
which allows controlled Open Kinetic Chain (OK-C)
movements of the user. Static comfort wheelchairs
can be accommodated to support the user’s distal
segments. The controlled OK-C movement has an
extra impact: The distal segments can move, with
a moderate resistance. OK-C helps to gain control
of the proximal segments, especially when the user
cannot inhibit muscle movements due to their
medical condition.
Netti Dynamic System is a modular system that can
be customized and adjusted according to the user’s
need.
Typically Netti Dynamic System or its components
may be used for wheelchair users with involuntary
movements.
EXAMPLES OF INVOLUNTARY MOVEMENTS ARE:
•
Dystonia
– involuntary, sustained or intermittent
muscle contractions that can cause twisting and
repetitive movements, abnormal posture or both.
Muscle tone varies from normal or hypotonia to
hypertonia.
•
Athetosis
– slow, involuntary writhing movement.
•
Chorea
– brief, irregular jerking movements.
•
Tremor
– this is a rhythmic movement of part of
the body.
•
Hemiballism
– these are wild flinging / throwing
movements of one arm or leg, usually occurring as
a result of a cerebrovascular event.
•
Clonus
– rapid muscle jerks that are frequently
repetitive.
Before using Netti Dynamic System (NDS)
or any of its components, a seating
assessment should be carried out
by a trained professional.
