A Wheelchair Headrest for Total Head Control

The Savant [sa-vahnt, of profound learning] Patents pending.
 

The Savant Headrest is a unique new support for the head. It is cool, lightweight and can easily be shaped by hand. It provides support at three levels on the head to control lateral flexion and rotation. The Headband can be used for anterior support and is held firmly in place by a quick-release clamp.

The unique steel core allows selective shaping without tools. This permits the headrest to be moulded to the user.

The three levels of posterior and lateral support are:

• High-lateral pads for effective lateral flexion control
• Mid-lateral pads shaped for comfort behind the ears
• Sub-occipital pads form extra support below the mandible
