It’s no secret that the ErgoMulti table is designed because we wanted to create the optimum training table. We believe we have succeeded. Fortunately, we are not the only ones who share that opinion.
Annette Kjærsgaard is an occupational therapy specialist with a PhD in dysphagia. Dysphagia is a swallowing disorder and a symptom that may occur in connection with neurological diseases like Parkinson’s disease, sclerosis and brain injuries. In her latest book about dysphagia, Anette has made a series of professional descriptions, where she uses the ErgoMulti table for the rehabilitation of people with dysphagia.
Professional descriptions of the ErgoMulti training table

Stable exit position and appropriate working position
The ErgoMulti table can support a stable exit position for the user and at the same time support a suitable working position for the occupational therapist when conducting face, mouth and throat therapy. The table design with two carvings and rounded edges makes it possible for the occupational therapist to get close to the user without having to sit or stand in inappropriate working postures.
Forearm and elbow support
The design of the ErgoMulti table with carvings, brake wheels and the possibility for manual height adjustment makes it possible for the user to sit well supported with the feet on the floor, the stomach towards the table edge and the forearms/elbows on the table regardless of whether the user sits on an ordinary chair, an active or comfort wheelchair or a treatment bench.
The boomerang system with two different sizes of carvings on the user’s side of the table,
gives the user suitable support of the forearms/elbows no matter if the person is a child/adult or if the person has a slight/sturdy build. The crescent-shaped leaf which can be mounted on the therapist’s side of the table makes the table useful for training of several activities, e.g. a meal where there has to be room for a glass, a plate and cutlery, or for the examination of the mouth where there has to be room for a glass with water, napkin, examination light, etc.
