Leeway Pelvic Cradle User Manual

 

 

Inspired by the harnesses used in windsurfing, 

Leeway Pelvic Cradle* is for individuals who 

would benefit from increased pelvic stability and 

control. Leeway Pelvic Cradle’s snug fit provides 

unsurpassed proprioceptive feedback which, 

combined with the 4 point attachment, holds and 

supports the individual giving them the confidence 

to move their centre of gravity freely. This improves 

their dynamic sitting ability and increases their 

sideways and forward reach, whilst keeping their 

base of support stable.

Adjustable Velcro tabs on each side enable Leeway Pelvic Cradle to 

accommodate a range of postures and shapes. Adjusting these tabs forward 

can encourage a more upright posture with neutral or anterior pelvic tilt.

Leeway Pelvic Cradle is rigid yet flexible. A polycarbonate insert ensures Leeway 

Pelvic Cradle retains its shape when not in use, making the next transfer into 

the wheelchair simple. Carefully positioned neoprene sections allow the front 

strap to spring out of the way when the buckle is undone.
