Abstract
The Matrix seating system is an adaptable orthosis made of interlocking plastic components which can be shaped to fit the needs of the disabled. Twenty-five patients who had used this system for a minimum of 12 months have been assessed clinically. It was found to have several advantages over its rivals particularly in patient and guardian acceptance, versatility and on economic grounds. However, it was found not to prevent deterioration in spinal deformity nor to prevent hip dislocation.
