Embalmer: Blaire Brown
CASE STUDY
Name: Blaire Brown
Occupation: Embalmer
Location: New Zealand
Blaire first tried a Bambach Saddle Seat about 18 months ago. It
was in the Occupational Therapist's rooms where he went for an
assessment. At this stage he was going to the Occupational
Therapist frequently and always sat by choice, in this seat,
because it was the most comfortable. So his Occupational Therapist
suggested he try one for work./p>
Blaire has the black vinyl with back and tall gas lift model. He
says this is the fastest Chair on the floor. He would rather sit in
this Seat than any other, even when having a break. It is used to
have a break, when using the computer and now has to fight
co-workers for the Seat. It did take a couple of weeks to get used
to it although there was no troubles with the abductors (this
customer is/has been a very fit person).
Result
When working around the head area stitching, putting on make up,
he can now sit to work on The Bambach Saddle Seat. When trimming
caskets it takes the weight off the feet and puts him in a better
position. Work is now relaxing and although he can now take his
time, he says more gets done.
Prior to getting a Bambach saddle Seat, trimming one casket
was a problem, now he can do six at a time
sitting and there are no problems. His back is more
comfortable and he can now work longer hours or work the same
length of time and not need to take as many breaks. He doesn't feel
as tired at the end of the day and the nagging back pain is not as
exaggerated.
Blaire felt he received good operating instructions. The seat
was taken out to him and demonstrated. Written instructions also
left. Plus, he would have received some instruction from
the
Occupational Therapist while originally sitting in the Seat.
It did take a bit of getting used to, it was different and took a
while to get the best from the Seat. However, now he "zips
around".
The Bambach Saddle Seat has made working more tolerable. When
not using the Bambach Saddle Seat and his back was bad he got
grumpy, now there is no pain, can cope easier when feeling fine
physically - with the job, and is not tired and tense at the end of
the day.
