height and depth of the knee support can be ad-
justed to the patient using the adjustment rails�

tion, then retighten all the screws again�
7 . 2 . 2 . Pelvis
Hip belt
The AKTIVLINE
®
comes equipped with a pelvic re-
straint, which is of decisive importance for the seat
system� Only proper adjustment of the pelvic restraint
enables the patient to move the AKTIVLINE
®
correctly,
thus achieving the desired effects�
Various versions of the pelvic restraint are customized
to meet the needs of the patient� There is a choice of
2 -point or 4 -point hip belts� As a rule, both versions
are bolted in place onto the right and left of the shell
or attached to the bottom shell edge with a snap buckle
and clamping plate for length adjustment� Using the
snap buckle and clamping plate, the length can be ad-
justed individually to the size of the patient, to do this,
proceed as follows:

Open the snap buckle on one side, adjust the belt
to the desired length and reclose the snap buckle�
Now proceed in the same sequence on the oppo-
site side�

Or: open the clamping plate with an Allen key,
adjust the belt to the desired length, and then se-
curely screw the clamping plate back again� Then
repeat this procedure on the opposite side�
The hip belt itself is fitted with one, or, if necessary, two
tensioning straps� These enable pressure to be applied
to the pelvis, as desired or tolerated� To do this, first
close the hip belt and then pull the flap, or both flaps
simultaneously, to adjust the desired pressure� Please
observe the following instructions when applying the
pelvic restraint:
When applying the pelvic restraint, the patient must be
seated as far back as possible in the seat shell, i�e� the
patient's pelvis must be in contact with the back of the
seat shell� In order to ensure this, it may be helpful to
recline the seat shell using the undercarriage tilt-in-
space mechanism until the patient slides comfortably
into the desired position�
Important!
The patient must always be secured and
under observation at all times�
Pelvic harness
In combination with the AKTIVLINE
®
, the DYNALINE
®
pelvic harnesses provide pelvic restraint and feature
materials, which are very well tolerated by the skin and
highly elastic, ensuring the greatest possible range
of motion�
The standard and spread form of the pelvic harness
consists of a broader part on which the patient is to
sit with his/her posterior� This broad section is fixated
at the back in the seat shell� In the front, the plate
splits into two narrower straps� The two straps exiting
from the side are pulled upwards between the patient's
legs and then outwards/downwards over the groin� The
straps must be spread over the thighs across their en-
tire width�
Important!
If positioned incorrectly, the belt cuts
on the inside and causes pain�
A T-shaped pelvic harness is positioned and attached
similar to a hip belt on the right and left of the patient's
pelvis, the middle part is attached between the legs�
Ensure good positioning of the pelvic harness as this
could otherwise lead to pressure areas�
Abduction pommel
An integrated abduction pommel is located under the
cover and cannot be adjusted� This is always required in
the case of a foot rest with individual foot supports An
adjustable or removable abduction pommel can be se-
lected for a single-piece foot rest, proceed as follows:
To loosen the abduction pommel, turn the clamp lever
- mounted at the front of the abduction pommel - coun-
terclockwise, this loosens the abduction pommel and
it can simply be pulled out�
Then reinsert the abduction pommel in the intended re-
ceptacle and turn the clamp lever clockwise until tight�
Then check whether the abduction pommel has its de-
sired position again�
Side cushions for the seat, attachable with Velcro
Side cushions with Velcro attachment serve to adapt
to growth� These can be removed by a strong pull of
the cushion� Zippers allow removal of the covers for
washing� Please follow the exact washing instructions
provided for washing the relevant materials�
