Customers Love Locking Medical Glider Chairs
When Liam received his Aspire glider in the classroom, it was love at first sight. “He was so happy, smiling ear to ear when he was in the Broda glider,” says Heather. “From an occupational therapy perspective, Heather was also pleased with Liam’s clinical outcomes. “The glider had increased his vestibular sensory input and was promoting strengthening his muscles in the lower extremities,” she remarked.
