Otto Bock ECO BUGGY, Instructions For Use Manual

Page: 51 / 376

Operating instructions
• Place the user in an upright,
90°
seated position (if physiologically possible).
• Ensure that the back is up against the back support pad (if physiologically possible).
• The lap belt should run in the direction of the thighs in front of the pelvic bones if possible (not illustrated).
• The lap belt should be at an angle of about
60°
to the seat surface. The belt strap should run across the thighs
in front of the pelvic bones (see fig. 19).
Possible errors
• The lap belt is positioned above the user’s pelvis in the area of the soft part of the stomach.
• The user does not sit upright in the seat.
• If the lap belt is too loose, the user can shift/slide out to the front.
• During the installation/adjustment, the lap belt is routed over parts of the seating system (e.g. over arm sup­
ports or seat pads). This causes the lap belt to lose its positioning and retaining function.

8.3.4 Five-point belt
The rehab buggy can be equipped with a five-point belt. It additionally stabilises the pelvis and shoulders and pre­
vents the user from sliding out of the seat. The buckle makes it easy to get in and out.
The optional five-point belt consists of shoulder harnesses with shoulder pads, the lap belt piece and the centre
strap.
