To avoid injury, never
operate the TRAM
without the back belts in place. Always
ensure that the release tabs on all
buckles are fully latched before initiating
a lift or transfer.
Figure 12a:
The TRAM’s body support
system includes the body support pads,
patient hand grips, ring clips, and the back
belts, buckles and back pad.
Figure 12b:
The back belts have a single
point release with a safety cover over
the buckle buttons to prevent accidental
release. The straps are woven through a
padded back pad, which spaces the straps
apart and adds support and comfort for
the user.
Figure 12c:
For smaller users, the straps
can be threaded through the middle slots
as shown, or the pad can be removed
completely.
The following can also be attached to the
body support system, depending on how
the TRAM is to be used:
• Thigh straps (see figure 16a, and pp.
22 – 23 for use)
• Pelvic support (see figure 16b, and
p. 24 for use)
• Hip positioner (see figure 16c)
• Arm prompts (see pp. 17 – 18)
• Arm platforms (see p. 19)
