Which feature is associated with curved headrest for more aggressive support?

• A. Side panels may be indicated for more aggressive support
• B. Planar back insert
• C. Sling back
• D. Planar posterior head rest

Answer: (A)

Contouring and containment around the head are what increase how aggressively the system stabilizes the head. A curved headrest enhances contact and helps keep the head in midline, but to truly limit movement, you need lateral containment. Side panels provide that containment, restricting side-to-side motion and supporting a more secure, upright position. The other features—flat or planar back options, or a sling back—offer less rigid control of head movement and do not add the same level of lateral containment. A curved headrest paired with side panels gives the strongest, more aggressive support.
