Clinical Support for Occupational Therapists
Oz Interior by Design works closely with occupational therapists
and NDIS providers to assist in selecting appropriate bariatric
seating solutions for individuals with complex mobility needs.
Clinical Considerations for Bariatric Seating
Selecting appropriate bariatric seating requires careful clinical assessment to ensure safety, comfort, and long-term support for individuals with complex mobility needs. Occupational therapists play a critical role in evaluating seating requirements, including weight capacity, pressure management, posture support, and the individual’s functional goals when prescribing assistive technology.
Well-designed bariatric seating should provide structural stability for higher weight capacities while maintaining ergonomic positioning, pressure distribution, and durability suitable for both clinical and home environments.

Key clinical considerations include:
• Weight capacity
• Pressure management
• NDIS funding alignment
