ACL 1.6
The person may sit in fully supported seating for two to three hours per day.
Without full support, the duration is only for a few minutes.
Avoiding fatigue prevents exhaustion and troublesome behavior in the following hours, which may be the next nursing shift.
ACL 1.8
The person may sit in a supported seating for three to four hours per day.
Warning: The longer duration requires pressure care, provided by shifting the weight over boney prominences. Exercising while sitting is a good solution.
Prevent bone deterioration and protect skin integrity by sitting in standard chairs for only short periods of time, several times a day.
Funding sources, equipment and seating services often vary and change. Networking with local therapists helps keeping up and locating sources of equipment and payment policies.
