A dynamic head support device which can be applied to almost anything with a headrest while the child is upright,.. wheelchair, walker, stroller, stander,bike or activity chair.The child is able to move in full rotation, as well as chin tuck and extension, but not head drop. As the child acquires strength, the upper band is relaxed and they are able to move within their plane of strength. It is a completely different philosophy from head restraints and collars, which tends to atrophy mus- culature further due to lack of movement. The Headpod can only be used when the child is upright, to begin within their point of balance. A functional aide during power wheelchair use, Aug Comm and feeding.
