| The i2i (Eye-to-Eye) is most effective for the following clients- |
|
| 1. |
|
Those too weak to hold their heads up for any extended time. |
|
| 2. |
|
Those with a great deal of extensor tone but poor head control (often resulting in their heads getting caught under or to the side of their current headrest and requiring constant repositioning by caregiver.
|

|
| The goal for clients in the first group is to provide ample support in all directions, especially anteriorly. The goal for clients in the second group is to provide a system that offers enough lateral and posterior support that when they begin to extend their necks, they are invited back into a midline position and do not have to worry about getting caught under anything or having such a large surface behind their head, which in some instances provides the perfect spot to push off into neck hyperextension. |
