4.6 Mounts for belts and harnesses
If there is a risk that the user can slide out of the wheelchair
a positioning belt and harness can be used. HD Motion can
be equipped with belt mounts at the thighs (1 in Figure 36)
and hips (2), and mounts for harnesses (3 and 4).
MOUNTS FOR
2-POINT BELTS
2-point belts are attached to two belt mounts, one on each
side. The mounting points can be at the thighs or at the hips,
depending on the needs of the user. It is important that the
mounts be placed correctly so the the user is well positioned.
They should be installed by qualified personnel. The belt
mounts at the thighs are adjustable 6 cm in 7 positions.
MOUNTS FOR 4-POINT BELTS
4-point belts are attached to four belt mounts, two on each
side. It is important that the mounts be placed correctly so
the the user is well positioned. They should be installed by
qualified personnel.
MOUNTS FOR HARNESSES
Harnesses are attached to two adjustable mounts at the top
of the back, together with the two mounts secured in the
lower holes on the sides of the backrest system. It is important
that the mounts be placed correctly so the the user is well
positioned. They should be installed by qualified personnel.
- There may be local restrictions on use of belts.
- Individual information about the use of a belt must be received from the prescriber for each user.
- Be alert when using of positioning belt or harness. There is a risk of the user sliding down in the chair and
getting stuck in the belt if it is incorrectly installed or poorly fastened. This can lead to impaired blood or
oxygen supply and risk of the user choking.
- Always make sure that the belt is securely fastened when in use.
- If possible, tighten the belt with the user in an upright position. If the belt is tightened when the back is
reclined there is a risk of pinching when the back is raised up.
- Be aware of loose belts, they can get caught in the wheels and cause a sudden stop or pinching.
- A harness is always used in combination with a positioning belt.
