THE SEATING SYSTEM WHEELCHAIR INTERFACE
The
•
3D Modular System will have been built to suit the wheelchair specified at the
assessment. The method of interfacing the seat may vary and the 2 types of interface
options are described in this section.
•
The
standard
3D Modular
system consists of a backrest and cushion assembled into a 1
piece or 2 piece system. To attach the
3D Modular
system to the appropriate wheelchair,
please follow the instructions for both 1 piece and 2 piece systems.
1.1. LOCATING THE 3D MODULAR SEAT FRAME
CANVAS FITTING INTERFACE METHOD (1 piece system)
If the 3D Modular System has been set up to interface on the existing wheelchair canvases
then the following method is used to install and remove it from the wheelchair.
Whilst
•
holding the 3D Modular System, place this
into the wheelchair making sure that the front bar
on the support frame locates behind the armrest
upright posts (Fig.1.1a) or into the ski brackets (if
fitted).
Having
•
located the seat behind the armrest
uprights gently lower the back of the seat onto
the wheelchair backrest canvas. The seat will
now be able to sit into the wheelchair.
The
•
seat retention straps now need to be
fastened around the back of the wheelchair.
There
•
are between 1 & 3 retaining straps
(Fig.1.1c)to secure around the wheelchair on the
1 piece 3D Modular System (depending on wheelchair).
Seat
•
Retention Straps are secured around
the back of the wheelchair frame, not just the
wheelchair canvas (Fig.1.1b).
With
•
the 3D Modular System now installed into
the wheelchair it is now safe to place the client in
position.
S.O.S.
•
Seating Systems need to be interfaced
to the wheelchair safely and it is important
that the retention straps are always secured
for client safety.
Removing
•
the 3D Modular System from the
wheelchair is the reverse of the above procedure.
