i2i Overview
i2i Upper Torso Support Series
Using a head support is part of a complete seating intervention and should be informed by the findings of a seating assessment so each individual's needs can be met.
The i2i is designed to:
- Help maintain overall positioning goals.
- Help minimize the risk of the progression of cervical deformities. Unsupported positions may become fixed.
- Assists in providing an upright head position and promote eye contact.
- Help to improve a person's mealtime experience and saliva management.

i2i Overview:
- The unique, integrated shape of the i2i provides a maximal, proximal foundation between the head, neck, and shoulders. The sub occipital along with the integrated low profile occipital components provide posterior support and limit cervical extension while offering resting support.
- The lateral components promote a midline head position and offer cervical supporting while maintaining range of motion.
- Anterior stabilizer arms act as an anchor for the chin prompt, and provide an anterior boundary channeling movement into a midline position.
- The chin prompt is designed to provide anterior support, to keep the head more midline for meals, and to encourage neck muscle strengthening. It is designed with a curved contact surface and straps that allow it to slide when an unsafe amount of force is exerted, therefore preventing airway obstruction.
- For safety, the chin prompt should ONLY be used under a caregivers supervision, and is NOT to be used during transportation.

Features
i2i Features
- The standard i2i creates an exoskeleton around the neck providing cervical support from the shoulders to the lower portion of the occipital.
- The rear of the i2i provides support for the occipital and sub occipital regions.
- Stabilizer arms provide an anterior boundary to combat slipping forward due to muscle fatigue or gravity.
- Ear cutouts provide relief for sensitivity or easy access to the ears.
- Adjustable arms adjust laterally, creating open space for the client or devices.
- The low profile provides neck and shoulder support while keeping the occipital regions free.
- Short arms free space on the clients chest while providing an anterior boundary to a lesser degree.
