Why use the Ode?
Benefits for the client
Using Ode Seating System is intuitive and logical. Every size is adjusted similarly and offers same level of functionality regardless of the size of the seat. Ode is designed to adjust with natural joint movements due to correctly positioned hinge points so that you don’t need to worry about relocating supports when changing some of the settings. Interchangeable and individually adjustable modules secures the optimal fit of the Ode Seat and precision of the posture is achieved through bilateral and stepless adjustments. As unique features Ode Seating System offers mechanically adjusted hip flexion and rotational supports for both lumbar and thoracic trunk area. Superior and similar functionality makes Ode Seating System and Ella Stander a great combination for the clients in their everyday activities.

Benefits for the therapist
One of the main values of the Ode Seating System for therapist is that it really saves time and reduces complexity in the setting of the seat for the client. We believe that your time as a therapist should be spent with client and not with settings of the seat unit. Therefore we have designed our product so that all the adjustments for posture and seat dimensions are accessible without adding or removing any components off the seat. This allows the client to be actually seated while you finalize the dimensional and postural adjustments. By doing the settings this way you will not just save time, but you will also extend the level of precision in the settings and posture and you will remove the excess transfers of the client in and out of the seat while adjusting it.
Features & Functionalities

Optimal Fit
Children grows and they grow millimeter by millimeter. This is why Ode Seat is designed to grow with the client. Every dimensional adjustment of the seat is intentionally designed to be bilateral and stepless to guarantee the optimal fit throughout the client growth period. Stepless and bilateral design is not only a factor of comfort, but by doing this we aim to avoid those little gaps between the client body and seat supports in order to prevent the client to slide into those gaps. This improves the precision in the seating posture, but also removes the need of adding extra cushioning to fill those gaps.

Ease of Use
You should not feel like a mechanic when setting the seat for the client. ODE Seat is design so that there is no need to add or remove any parts when growing the seat dimensions or when changing the postural adjustments. Additionally when all the functions, no matter dimensional or postural, are accessible from outside the seat your client can actually be seated when you finalize the dimensional and postural settings. The initial dimensional settings are fast to do by just taking approximate measures of width and depth and pre-setting the seat to meet those. Finalizing the dimensional settings with client seated makes the seat to fit precisely to client body measures. The adjustments are intuitive and logical and only one tool (included with the product) is needed for the setup and daily adjustments.
Individual Seating Posture Pelvic control
We are all unique and even more unique are our clients with their special needs. When building the basis for optimal and individual seating posture it is important that the seat can be formed to meet these unique needs. Using the rotational lumbar support Ode Seating System can adapt to deformities in the pelvic area in order to support the pelvis from the right angles and secure it firmly. Depth, width and angle adjustable ischial plates are located under the cushion to prevent the pelvis to slide forward. Unique feature to mechanically adjust hip flexion in order to symmetrically or asymmetrically open or close hip angle makes extra ramps, wedges or cushions useless. All this is aiming to stabilize the optimal and individualized seating posture of our unique clients.

Individual Seating Posture Lower leg adjustments
When building the basis we should not forget the groundings; the feet. Ode seating system offers a wide selection of lower leg and foot adjustments as standard. The standard adjustments include: Hip abduction & adduction, hip flexion, knee flexion, foot width & depth, foot abduction & adduction, foot plantar- & dorsiflexion and also foot pronation & supination. All stepless and bilateral naturally. With this wide selection of standard features for feet, included with firm hold of pelvic, we are able to create a solid basis aiming to support the upper body and head.

Hinge point
Ode is designed to adjust with natural joint movements due to correctly positioned hinge points so that you don’t need to worry about relocating supports when changing some of the settings.
Individual Seating Posture Thoracic control
Once basis are set it is time to focus on thoracic area aiming for control and fit. For optimal fit it is possible to use the modules from smaller or bigger seat sizes to meet the client body dimensions. Equally to pelvic area the rotational thoracic pad is available to facilitate precision in seating posture for example in case of scoliosis or other deformations in the spinal area. For stability and control a various kinds of lateral supports are available in various sizes and additional control is delivered with accessories like shoulder pads and elbow pads. Fixation of the upper body can be done by using thoracic belt or harnesses. Once again… everything is bilateral, stepless and adjustable even when client is seated.
Individual Seating Posture Head control
It is our belief that when basis are set so that the feet, pelvic and upper body are all well aligned the head control already improves. For further head control Timo offers three types of head rests in various sizes. Each type adds on functionality such as off set from center line and lateral support options. For increased performance Timo can include a HeAdaloft™ head band to our configurations of Ode Seating System and Ella Standers. As we recognize we can not be best in the world in developing head rests, we have decided to design adapters into our portfolio of head rests. These adapters enables you to mount various incredible head rests into our Ode Seating System. Be in contact to us for further information of this option.

Added Value
As added value Ode Seating System offers a huge amount of functionality as an in-built functionality. Our philosophy has been to build the functionality into seating system and this way reduce the list of accessories. This will help in determining the needed configurations and will help you to stay in your budget as the pricing becomes more transparent. Additionally, just like in Ella Stander, all the sizes are operated and adjusted similarly, all functions are stepless and bilateral, all sizes has same functionalities and all the accessories are available to every Seat size. All sizes grow without additional components and all adjustments are visible allowing the client remain seated while finalizing the adjustments. All this is designed to guarantee the precision of posture and optimal fit of the seating unit throughout the growth of the client

Mobile Bases
First of all, same mobile base can used with any size of Ode seat. So you can look ahead and choose an Ode Mini with powered high-low Indoor base and use the same base when the seat size grows. Handy, right? Ode Seat can be mounted on Indoor Base or Outdoor Base. Seat is easily detachable from the base so the seat can be switched between the bases depending on the location. Ode Indoor Base offers a high-low function enabling the client to be seated close to floor or to be raised up to table level. Its tilt-in-space function helps to manage the pressure distribution and is also good for occasional resting during the day. Ode Outdoor Base is equipped with larger wheels to enable activities in outdoors. It also includes the tilt-in-space function, but also rear drum brakes and anti-tip bars for safe journeys outside. Outdoor base is foldable for easier transport and storage. Both bases are equipped with angle adjustable push bar making it easier to move the Seating System when seat is tilted or assistants are different heights.

Cushions & Fabric
Ode Seat cushions are comfortable and removable 30 mm thick foam cushions. Upholsteries are available in various colors in two fabric types: Aqua Stirata and Dartex Performance, out of which Dartex is washable in washing machine even in 70°C temperature. The recommended fabric is Dartex as its smooth surface is extremely easy to wipe clean.
Size Guide
When choosing the right size seating system for the client all we need to know is client weight, client thigh length and hip width. With these measures we are able to determine the size of the seat module best fitting for the client. Keeping in mind other Ode Seat modules are more or less interchangeable with each other we then build the seat using the modules that best fit for individual client. To help you in this we have pre-build configurations that are most common and you simply fine tune those when needed.
Both Mobile Bases, Indoor and Outdoor, comes in one size so any seat size can be combined with same base. As a choice to one base philosophy we have developed a small Mini Indoor Base for the smallest Mini Seat unit. Indoor Base can be chosen with gas piston assisted or power assisted high-low function. Our recommendation is to look to the future and choose the powered high-low version and use the same base through the changing seat sizes.
