Additional Material

Additional material, provided by VelDon, is the material necessary to guide clients in your practice or at home, in an effective way, to improve their trunk and body stability and coordination. Below, you can find a short summary and brief descriptions of these materials. If you are a therapist that is about to start using the VelDon method, it is advisable to read the following carefully.

The FlexChair® is the functional application to the TBT (Trunk Balance Trainer). In a practice it is advisable to ascertain one or two of these that can be lent or rented to patients (advice: €25,- a week). Home training or testing for someone who wishes acquire a FlexChair® influences the user in a positive way. The FlexChair® can be provided with a sensor. Patients that have already used the FlexChair® can apply for retail prices. Terms and conditions apply.

Seating pillow with sensor. The seating pillow has a cover in which the sensor fits appropriately. This is a cheap and effective way to train the forwards, backwards and sideways movements at home.

Sensor and receiver home set. The software for the home set is limited. It is not possible for it to be connected to the database. However, the home set is very effective when doing the TBT exercises taught at the practice, at home. The software for the home sets is available through downloads and comes with an instruction manual.

Fixation material. To attach the sensor to areas of the body, different sets of bands have been made to hold the sensor. For example, a band can be wrapped around the lower arm in which the sensor can be held. This allows exercises to be done in open areas.

Extremities. To measure and train positions and patterns of movements, a neutral point has to be present. This can be done using the reference transmitter. Using a fixated sensor on the chest to serve as a neutral point, for example, complete movement patterns can be determined. The increasing possibilities for this application are still being researched. If you are interested in aiding us with any new developments on this matter, we would greatly appreciate your input.

Poster. The poster serves as a helping agent for the client. Correct and incorrect postures and movements are stated and can lead or correct the clients’ movement behaviour. This poster is intended for the FlexChair®/TBT so that you the movement instructions become clearer. The digital version can be requested, free of charge. The hardback laminated version, can be sent to you in protective casing, sending costs and a small fee apply for the production.
