G108 Impact of Sleep Systems (SS) on Posture and Quality of Life (QOL) in Children with Neurological Disabilities

Abstract

Aims Children with neurodisability and limited mobility are at an increased risk of postural deformity which impacts on their overall health and QOL. SS are used as part of an individualised posture management programme for children with restricted mobility. There is limited research evidence on the impact of SS on hip stability, body symmetry and QOL of the child and family. There are also financial implications associated with use of SS. We aim to assess the impact of SS in children seen in a single tertiary centre.
