“…Although we could not make statistical inferences regarding the effect of the interventions on these indicators, this upper limit is large enough to merit further study. It is reasonable to expect improvements in letter form if specialty seating improved postural control for children with ambulatory cerebral palsy as reported in other studies (Reid et al, 1991;Sochaniwskyj et al, 1991). However, it is unclear why we did not detect larger effects in other handwriting quality categories also.…”

“…Rehabilitation researchers initially explored the application of Mandal-type seating in children with ambulatory cerebral palsy about 20 years ago. Studies showed that children with cerebral palsy had significant samesession increases in spinal extension (Reid, Sochaniwskyj & Milner, 1991), better postural control (Reid et al;Sochaniwskyj, Koheil, Bablich, Milner & Lotto, 1991) and better overall sitting posture in some cases (McClenaghan, Thombs & Milner, 1992) when using a seat with a 5°-15°forward incline compared with using one with a horizontal surface.…”

“…Building on this work, we have investigated the possible advantages of an anteriorly-inclined seat base for children with spastic cerebral palsy. Our preliminary research (21,22) suggests that for many of these children an improvement in sitting stability, and a reduction in kyphotic posturing with subsequent straightening of the spine can be achieved. Further, it was clinically observed that children sitting with a more upright posture often exhibited better quality of manual work.…”

“…These angles, however, are often difficult to maintain when performing functional tasks and not all therapists agree about the importance of promoting a 90-90-90 position during sitting. For example, a forward inclination (approximately five to ten degrees) of the seating surface shown in Figure 6 promotes a more upright and stable sitting posture, which can potentially improve upper limb function and head position (Sochaniwskyj, Koheil, Bablich, Milner, & Lotto, 1991). Figure 2 shows a child sitting on an inclined surface.…”
