Leckey FAQ's

The plastic ridge above the knee pads bar on the Leckey Freestander is digging into the child's skin. Is there a solution?

Leckey recommends 1-inch knee spacers behind the PU cups. Then there won't be contact on the ridge. You can then adjust the knee plate forward to compensate for any loss of flexion.

There are no longer prone belts on the Leckey Horizon Stander script. What should be scripted for the prone position?

For prone you will need to script the correct sized hip lateral instead of a prone hip belt.

Can you get a tray with a bowl on the Leckey Seating Systems?

Leckey do not supply any trays with bowls for their seats as there is no room to fit one between the tray and the user. 

Is it possible to make the Leckey PAL Seat sit higher?

Unfortunately not. Currently, Leckey do not supply leg extenders for the PAL Seat and another seating solution will be needed if a child needs to be sitting higher.

What are the differences between the Leckey Ankle Huggers and the Ankle Wraps?

From a Clinical perspective, there is no significant functional difference between these two options. Differences are largely aesthetic and personal choice of the user and their families.

Ankle Huggers may be more practical when other footwear ie. AFOs, Orthotic boots is required. The ankle wraps can fit onto Leckey sandals for a more uniform appearance.

 

Can Leckey products be wiped down with V Wipes?

These are safe to use on metal and plastic parts, but recommend you don't use them on harnesses or cloth coverings.
