3-4. Adjusting the Knee Support and Safety Belt and Chest Belt
The most important safety features of the stand up wheelchairs are the knee
support & safety belt and chest belt. It is absolutely essential that these be
correctly in place before you attempt to stand up.
3-4-1. The knee support
The knee support holds the knees in an extended posture and prevents you slipping out the
power wheelchair while standing up.
Attach the two triangular form of the knee
lock support to the double-head screws on
either side of the wheelchair.
(
Fig-18
)
Center the knee support in front of each knee
using the Velour fasteners, then pull it until
it is sitting firmly in place, just below (not
right on) the kneecap and not too tight.
