4) Secure the vest:
§
make sure that you can insert a straightened hand between the vest and the user's
body.
2) Special attention should be paid to protecting the patient from falling forward, slipping
off the seat or lifting the pelvis. The vest MUST be used with the accessories which will
secure the user's pelvis at all times (e.g. the pelvic belt, thigh abduction belts or the
abduction block). The use of the vest cannot be considered separately but as a part of a
general posture support system including supports such as pelvic belts, foot support,
torso stabilization, thigh abduction belts, tilt-in-space position and reclining backrest.
§
fasten the horizontal strap of the vest (if present),
Instructions for the proper use of the vest:
1) Make sure that the user is sitting in the best possible position:
§
in the middle of the seat,
§
fasten and adjust the lower straps of the vest, so that the lower edge of the vest is
located near the lower abdomen of the user,
To prevent injuries and to minimize the risks associated with the use of the vest,
the following rules should be followed:
3) Special attention should be paid to ensuring that the entire foot of the user has stable
support. If the device is not equipped with a foot support, the user's feet must rest
firmly against the ground.
5) Check the user's position:
3) Make sure that the side supports of the device, if used, are set in the correct position.
It is required that the users with the poor trunk control use the side supports. The
side supports limit the lateral movements of the user's body, which could lead to the
compression of the vest straps on the neck of the user.
2) Secure the patient's pelvis with, for example, a pelvic belt, thigh abduction belts or an
abduction block.
§
fasten the shoulder straps of the vest,
§
make sure that the vest cannot move by itself towards the user's neck,
1) The position of the vest MUST be checked each time after putting the patient in the
seat.
4) It should be remembered that any change of the inclination angle of the backrest, seat,
foot support or tilt-in-space function might affect the effectiveness of the belts and
supports!
§
check if the buckles of the vest do not open under pressure.
§
