Adjustable Tension Back Upholstery
2
Part No 1039470
The Adjustable Tension Straps
The
straps
can
be
adjusted
to
various
levels
of
tension
to
accommodate
individual
end
users.
In
a
typical
scenario,
the
bottom
two
straps
can
be
adjusted
tightly
to
support
and/or
assist
the
extensor
muscles.
The
top
two
straps
would
be
left
looser
to
allow
the
upper
body
to
lean
back
over
the
upholstery
to
fight
gravity.
This
configuration
may
enable
the
back
canes
to
be
lowered
for
a
quad.
In
another
instance,
you
might
loosen
all
of
the
straps
and
allow
the
end
user
to
sink
all
the
way
back
into
the
chair.
Every
person
will
be
different.
Let
the
therapist
experiment
with
different
positions
and
then
decide.
It
is
easy
to
change.
Replacing The Back Upholstery Cover
NOTE:
For
this
procedure,
refer
to
FIGURE 1.
The
back
upholstery
cover
is
designed
for
three
reasons:
• As
a
modesty
cover
to
prevent
one’s
posterior
from
protruding
out
of
the
chair.
• To
keep
the
cushion
from
sliding
out
the
back
of
the
chair.
• As
a
sacral
support
depending
upon
how
far
or
tight
the
flap
is
pulled
under
the
seat
cushion.
