MultiAdjust Case Study – Jayne’s Story

Jayne sat out in her wheelchair (view from the side).

Jayne’s diagnoses: epilepsy and subdural haematoma, managed via craniotomy, following a head injury:

- Jayne presents with generalised weakness and reduced postural control resulting in fatigue.
- She has instability at the pelvis presenting with a habitual posterior pelvic tilt and pelvic rotation.
- She also presents with an increased thoracic kyphosis, shoulder protraction and foot drop.
- Jayne is non-ambulant and is fully hoisted for all transfers.

Jayne used her wheelchair throughout the day for all of her seated activities. Care staff were concerned about her risk of pressure injuries and her wellbeing; Jayne was experiencing fatigue and often requested to return to bed in the afternoon resulting in limited social interaction.

Jayne needed a seating system to promote pelvic stability, support the upper limbs and open up the shoulder girdle.

On review, staff reported Jayne ability to interact with other residents for longer periods of time before needing a rest.
