2.2. CLIENT STRAPS / HARNESSES
•
Secure all straps / harness supplied. Straps
and harness must be tightened to work
correctly.
It
•
is dangerous to have straps too loose or
not in place on the client.
If
•
the Digi-Seat Seating System has
been fitted with a ‘Butterfly X Harness’,
it is important that it is correctly adjusted
to maintain safe clearance at the top of
the harness as illustrated in the diagram
opposite at ‘
X
’.
2.3. FOOTREST ADJUSTMENT
It
•
is recommended that feet be supported on
the foot supports provided to ensure that the
client is seated with optimum comfort.
Leaving
•
the clients feet unsupported is not
recommended as this can lead to great
discomfort and abnormal pressure being
generated at the pelvis and other weight
bearing areas.
It
•
is therefore essential that the footrests of
the wheelchair be adjusted correctly (see
Wheelchair User Manual for details).
Keep bottom straps of
harness tight.
