Page: 37 / 111

If the child is active or has extensor
spasms check the pelvic harness is secure
after each spasm to ensure the child is
safe and cannot slide forward in the seat.
Always fasten the centre buckle on the
pelvic harness before making any other
adjustments.
10.3 Chest and Trunk
Harness Adjustment
If the child requires chest support as part
of their postural support programme the
seat will be fitted with rigid laterals or a
combination of laterals, chest harness
and trunk harness. These may need to be
adjusted on a daily basis to accommodate
differences in clothing.
Always check with your therapist as to the
optimum positioning and tensioning of the
straps and support items for the child.
To change the width of the chest harness, lift
the front cover, adjust the Velcro straps and
set to the desired width. When the correct
width has been achieved replace the cover.
Please refer to section 9 for specific
guidance on adjusting the trunk harness.
Always make sure the plastic buckles are
fully engaged when using the chest harness.
Check the harness and laterals are secure
to ensure the child is safe and cannot slide
forward in the seat as this may restrict
their breathing.
