Postural Rolls (3 Sizes)
- Versatile Therapy and Rehabilitation Aid - postural rolls are cylindrical positioning aids used across a wide range of therapeutic and rehabilitation activities; their cylindrical form allows weight shifting, balance training, assisted rolling, and dynamic postural control exercises that are not possible with static wedge supports; the roll creates an unstable base that challenges and develops balance and core stability when used therapeutically.
- Combustion Modified Foam with FR Wipe-Clean Cover - combustion modified foam provides a firm but comfortable cylindrical form that maintains its shape under therapeutic loading; the fire-retardant wipe-clean vapour-permeable cover meets clinical fire safety requirements and supports NHS IPC decontamination between patients; the vapour-permeable surface maintains microclimate at any skin contact point during therapy use.
- Three Sizes with Carry Strap - small (NCL-PRS, 600mm L x 200mm diameter), medium (NCL-PRM, 900mm L x 300mm diameter), and large (NCL-PRL, 900mm L x 375mm diameter) provide options from paediatric-scale therapy to large adult clinical use; the carry strap supports efficient handling between therapy locations and storage between sessions.
- Hospitals, Therapy Centres, and Homecare - suitable for physiotherapy departments, occupational therapy settings, specialist rehabilitation units, and homecare use; the therapist should confirm the appropriate roll size and the therapeutic activities for which the roll is to be used based on the individual patient's goals and clinical presentation.
Postural Rolls - Three Sizes - FR Foam - Therapy and Rehabilitation
Postural Rolls provide a versatile cylindrical support for balance training, weight shifting, assisted rolling, and postural control in physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Combustion modified foam; fire-retardant wipe-clean vapour-permeable cover; carry strap. Three sizes: small (600x200mm), medium (900x300mm), large (900x375mm).
Size Options
| Reference | Length | Diameter |
|---|---|---|
| NCL-PRS (Small) | 600 mm | 200 mm |
| NCL-PRM (Medium) | 900 mm | 300 mm |
| NCL-PRL (Large) | 900 mm | 375 mm |
Regulatory Compliance
The fire-retardant cover meets the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 fire safety requirements for clinical and care home settings. CQC Regulation 12 (safe care) documentation should include postural rolls within the physiotherapy or occupational therapy treatment plan where they are used in the care setting, with the therapist documenting the clinical indication, the therapeutic activities, and any contraindications for individual patients. The vapour-permeable cover specification supports skin microclimate management for patients who may rest body parts against the roll during therapy.
Frequently Asked Questions
What therapeutic applications do postural rolls support?
Postural rolls are used across a broad range of therapeutic goals: lying over the roll in prone provides a dynamic chest and abdominal support for head lifting and arm weight-bearing; sitting astride the roll challenges dynamic sitting balance and core stability; rolling on the roll facilitates side-to-side weight shifting for balance training; positioning the roll under the knees or lumbar spine provides postural support in supine lying; and placing the roll under the ankles provides heel elevation for pressure relief. The roll's cylindrical form gives it greater versatility than fixed-angle wedge supports for dynamic and active therapeutic activities.
How do the three roll sizes differ in their therapeutic applications?
The small roll (NCL-PRS, 200mm diameter) is appropriate for paediatric patients or for localised support activities where a smaller diameter provides the appropriate therapeutic challenge; a smaller diameter creates a narrower, more challenging balance surface and a lower overall height. The medium roll (NCL-PRM, 300mm diameter) suits standard adult therapy activities and provides a moderately challenging balance surface. The large roll (NCL-PRL, 375mm diameter) provides a wider, more stable base appropriate for patients who need the greater stability during early-stage balance training, or for larger adults requiring a proportionate support surface. The therapist selects the roll size based on the patient's body dimensions, ability level, and the specific therapeutic goal.
