"My PAL" Positioning System

"My PAL" (posture assisted lying) was designed by physiotherapists Janice Clarke and Ruth Shanks whose jobs involve helping to maintain the posture of children, who do not have normal use of their lower limbs. Janice and Ruth who work at Yorkhill Sick Kids Hospital felt that whilst there were products to help sitting or standing, there was nothing simple to use which maintained good posture when their young clients were lying down.

Together with SHIL (Scottish Health Innovations Ltd) Kinderkey have developed and manufactured "My PAL".

This simple block helps to maintain a better hip position and can be used in supine and side lying, either for daytime or sleeping. Its main components are: one central wedge, adjustable supports for the legs and a pelvic strap. The pelvic strap attaches to all of the components and this assists in maintaining the overall corrected position.

"My PAL" is portable and comes with a handy, smart case.
