2.2. CLIENT STRAPS / HARNESSES
•
Secure all straps / harness supplied. Straps
and harness must be tightened to work
correctly.
It
•
is dangerous to have straps too loose or
not in place on the client.
If
•
the 3D Modular System has been fitted
with a ‘Butterfly X Harness’, it is important
that it is correctly adjusted to maintain safe
clearance at the top of the harness as
illustrated in the diagram opposite at ‘
X
’.
2.3. FOOTREST ADJUSTMENT
It
•
is recommended that feet be supported on
the foot supports provided to ensure that the
client is seated with optimum comfort.
Leaving
•
the clients feet unsupported is not
recommended as this can lead to great
discomfort and abnormal pressure being
generated at the pelvis and other weight
bearing areas.
It
•
is therefore essential that the footrests of
the wheelchair be adjusted correctly (see
Wheelchair User Manual for details).
Keep bottom straps of
harness tight.
