Installing the Medial Thigh Support (Pommel) or the
Anterior Knee Supports (Knee Blocks)
•
Slide the end of the square tube into the bracket
until it will not go any further (
fig. 16
). Knee blocks
should not contact the user’s knee caps.
•
Hold the support and push the
button on the right of the square tube.
•
Push the support into the bracket until the button
locates into the hole of the location
bracket. The knee block should now be in full
contact with the user’s knees.
•
Reverse this process to remove the support.
Pommels and knee blocks are adjusted to meet the clinical needs of the user. If you feel that the
position of these supports is no longer suitable, contact the wheelchair service provider.
A risk assessment should be carried out in order to determine whether or not these supports
should be removed before travelling in a motor vehicle.
Adjusting the Seat Depth
The seat depth can be adjusted (
fig. 17
) to accommodate the
growth of the user.
To adjust the seat depth:
1. Remove the front back pad (
N
), which is
attached with a hook-and-loop fastener.
2. If present, remove the sacral pad (
O
).
3. Remove the remaining back pad from
the plastic back support. The back
pad is attached with a hook-and-loop
fastener.
4. Re-attach the sacral pad and the front
back pad (
N
) to the plastic back
support.
The seat is now 25 mm deeper. The other
pad is no longer needed.
If you feel that the seat depth is still not suitable, contact the wheelchair service provider to
arrange further adjustments.
