SECTION 10:
CLINICAL SETUP
10.1 PREPARING FOR
THE CLIENT
When setting up the Leeway Pelvic
Cradle for the first time the Leeway Pelvic
Cradle should be flat with the Velcro side
tabs open. All four side and back buckles
should already be attached to the seat.
10.2 POSITIONING THE
CLIENT IN THE LEEWAY
PELVIC CRADLE
Position the client into the seat and
establish the correct posture with the
front strap of the Leeway Pelvic Cradle
positioned at the inguinal crease. As a
check, if the Leeway Pelvic Cradle is too
far forward it will be too low on the user’s
back, conversely if it is too far back it will
be too high up the user’s back.
10.3 SECURING THE
CLIENT IN THE LEEWAY
PELVIC CRADLE
There are two buckle options, the
standard side release
A
A
and the
security buckle
B
B
that has a secure
three point release requiring two fingers
and a thumb to open. Fasten your
chosen buckle at the front of the Leeway
Pelvic Cradle. Adjust the tension using
the D-rings to provide a snug fit. If it is
difficult to secure this buckle, check that
the user is positioned well back in the
seat/Leeway Pelvic Cradle. Re-positioning
or an alternative size of Leeway Pelvic
Cradle may be required.
Next fasten the Velcro tabs
C
C
at the
sides to fit the Leeway Pelvic Cradle to
the user. An anterior, neutral or posterior
pelvic tilt can be achieved depending on
the clinical needs of the client.
