How to Take Accurate Measurements

Seating Matters are changing the world through healthcare seating.

At Seating Matters we design and manufacture world leading, therapeutic seating for adults and children.

Our new chair, the Milano is a universal, accessible tilt in space chair designed for community loan stores, hospital and acute care and multi-patient use. It has been designed with falls prevention, pressure ulcer reduction and mobility in mind.

They were designed by Martina Tierney, an Occupational Therapist with 30 years experience in seating patients.

Seating Matters conducted a Randomised Control Trial with Ulster University, a study which has been reviewed and presented at over 30 academic conferences in 3 continents and is pending publication in a respected peer-reviewed journal..*

*These results should not be interpreted as a predictor or guarantee of future financial or clinical outcomes with different patients. Clinicians and users must employ correct decision making, undertake proper assessments, education, comply with local regulations and ensure correct use of equipment. The resulting report from this randomized control trial shows that the study consisted of 38 participants from 3 nursing home settings, who were randomly assigned to control and intervention groups using computer-generated numbers. The study’s results in regard to pressure ulcers has been calculated from the change in pressure ulcers/pressure injuries/skin redness in both the intervention and control group. As a pilot study of a specific nature, it was not blinded. The measurement of pressure ulcers was observational and the analysis of the results included various forms, not including statistical analysis. The study has been reviewed and presented at over 30 academic conferences in 3 continents and is pending publication in a respected peer-reviewed journal.
