For some patients, avoiding sleeping on the back (supine position) will either correct the problem or help reduce the airway collapsibility. When supine position avoidance is hybridized with other therapies such as the use of the TAP Appliance, the overall outcome is often enhanced.

Our home monitoring system will accurately determine the patients’ habitual body positions during sleep, and when analyzed against the airway collapsibility data, the potential usefulness of this additional therapy can be easily determined.
