Meet Elisha:My 50 year old son Elisha had a stroke which left him with nohead control, and an inclination for his head to fall to the right. We
started using HEADALOFTTM while still at the Sheba rehabilitation
center for head injuries. Since then, we saw a very significant
improvement with his head control and especially with his
cognitive development, including speech, initiative, interpersonalcommunication, and even social interaction.
The improvement began as soon as his head was up in asymmetrical position, letting him once again see the world upright.
Today, due to this amazing improvement in Elisha's head control,
we do not need to use the HEADALOFTTM as often, we mainly use itin situations of fatigue or for trips.
