10.3 ADJUSTING THE
SANDALS
To position the sandals simply loosen
the knob under the footplate, select
the position you require and re-fasten
the knob. To position the user’s feet in
the sandals secure the Velcro straps
provided so the foot is held in place.
The straps should be placed over the
bridge of the foot and over the toes.
The front strap can be fed through
one of two slots on either side of the
sandals, depending on the size of the
user’s feet.
If the child is wearing sandals or
light footwear check the straps to
make sure the webbing does not
irritate the skin.
10.4 ATTACHING
THE PELVIC BAND
The pelvic belt should be attached to
the user first, again if practical on a mat.
The pelvic straps are attached around
the user’s pelvis. The longer straps are
then slipped through the outer poles
of the frame and secured firmly behind
the user with the Velcro on the belt. To
ensure that you can easily identify the
strap that goes around the user and
the one that attaches to the frame, a
Leckey label is sewn on to the one that
goes around the frame.
