Skillbuilders Wedges

Seven of the 10 listings are Skillbuilders positioning wedges and three are Skillbuilders therapist kits. The wedges are foam positioning shapes used on the floor or a mat table during therapy.

The wedge range has three styles: bi-height wedges that offer two heights depending on which way they are turned, deluxe strap wedges with a strap to hold the user in position, and an abductor wedge shaped to keep the legs separated.

Bi-height wedges come in 4/6, 6/8, 8/10 and 10/12 inch height pairs, in 18 x 22 inch and 22 x 26 inch footprints. The deluxe strap wedges are 4 x 20 x 22 inches and 6 x 24 x 26 inches.

No — the three therapist kits (Kit 1, Kit 2 and Kit 3) are multi-piece Skillbuilders positioning sets that bundle a wedge with other positioning shapes; their listings name the component part numbers included. They sit in this collection because the wedge is the anchor piece of each kit.

Therapists use wedges for prone and supine positioning, weight bearing through the arms, head and trunk control practice, and supported sitting — common in pediatric physical and occupational therapy and early intervention.
