Intended User
The BodiLink® Medial Knee/Thigh Support is intended for those with positioning and support needs as deemed necessary
by a qualified healthcare professional. The BodiLink® Medial Knee/Thigh Support can be positioned to accommodate
user rehabilitation needs and goals while allowing for function and comfort. The sizes available and range of adjustability
fit pediatric to full grown users and should be matched by the healthcare provider to suit the user needs. Adjustments
or replacement components may be necessary as changes in condition occur or to accommodate developments such as
growth.
A clinician who is experienced in seating and positioning should determine whether the product is appropriate for the individual's
particular seating needs. The product's intended use statement alone should not be relied upon to make that determination.
The medical products featured in this document are intended to be only one part of an overall care regimen that includes all
seating and mobility equipment and therapeutic interventions. A clinician who is experienced in seating and positioning should
identify this care regimen after evaluating the individual's physical needs and overall medical condition.
A clinician should also evaluate for visual, reading, and cognitive impairment to determine the need for caregiver assistance or the
need for other assistive technology, such as large-print instructions, to ensure proper product use.
