Design and Function 7.0
Intended Use 7.1
Stealth’s i-Fit line of pelvic belts, vests, chest straps and foot positioners are
intended to be used as means to increase trunk stability, aid in proper pelvic
alignment, and improving the clinical posture of a user in-chair through the use
of breathable material and structured support.
Pelvic Positioning
IFPB (2-Point) - A pelvic positioning belt is required to maintain the pelvis in a
neutral alignment for optimal posture, stability, and pressure distribution.
(4-Point) - A pelvic positioning belt is required to maintain the pelvis in a
neutral alignment for optimal posture, stability, and pressure distribution.
Secondary attachment points will maintain the primary pelvic positioning belt
angle for optimal control of pelvic positioning and to prevent the pelvic
positioning belt from moving and abrading soft tissue, causing injury.
Thoracic Positioning
IFPS -Provides anterior thoracic support to maintain an upright, seated posture, as well
as to provide stability for function.
IFCS (Chest Strap) - Provides anterior thoracic support across the chest, prevents
forward movement, and extends functional reach.
IFYS (Y-Strap) - Provides anterior thoracic support, primarily designed to de-rotate the
trunk.
Foot Positioners
IFFP - Toe straps, ankle positioning systems, fixed ankle supports, and shoe holders with
straps are recommended to maintain the feet on the footplates for pressure
distribution, postural support, stability to prevent injury, and/or limit lower
extremity extension.
