Marr and Nicholls (2018) for people with PMLD reasonable adjustments may cover their methods of communication, how the person indicates pain as well as issues around postural care and diet whilst in hospital.

People with significant movement problems are at risk of developing changes in body shape, often referred to deformities, we prefer the prefer to refer to them as body shape distortions #posturalcare #scoliosis #hipdysplasia

[Postural Care Australia @CarePostural]

People at risk of developing body shape distortions may have significant movement problems from birth, after a serious traumatic event (injury), or a (degenerative) disease #posturalcare #scoliosis #hipdysplasia

[Postural Care Australia @CarePostural]

Body shape distortion develops often very slowly, over month and years and initially go unnoticed. Regular monitoring and reliable and validated measurement of body shape is key #GIoBS #posturalcare #scoliosis #hipmigration

[Postural Care Australia @CarePostural]

We often see the development of severe body shape distortion in children with CP, MD, and other neuromuscular diseases and syndromes. Almost all of these children are born without body shape distortions #posturalcare #scoliosis #hipdysplasia

Yes, a family/ person centred approach ..... the next step up from the current bio-psycho-social approach

@Steven_AK @KorakakisV @PeteOSullivanPT @kieranosull @RodWhiteley @RoulaKotsifaki Movement ability, variability and frequent change of positions is protective

[Postural Care Australia @CarePostural]

@Steven_AK @KorakakisV @PeteOSullivanPT @kieranosull @RodWhiteley @RoulaKotsifaki I work with people with severe physical disabilities and I can confirm that prolonged poor postures over a 24 hour period lead to contracture, deformities and functional/ QoL deficits, under the force of gravity. How long ‘prolonged’ is, is not clear yet.
