Simulation
13.3
As with any sort of positioning intervention, the best way to judge necessary
intervention forces and the angles in which they should be applied, is to
simulate the forces with your hands. Use your hands to:
Mimic the forces and angles applied by a positioning belt.
Judge the amount and degree of force needed.
Determine how, and at what points, the forces should be applied.
Having a partner during the simulation will allow you to use a piece of webbing
to help with the simulated angles of pull.
CAUTION
Use caution around feeding tubes, wounds, or sensitive areas.
WARNING
Never use an anterior thoracic support without a hip belt and a solid
back support.
NOTICE
A seat with angle or built-in contours may help keep the user from sliding
in the seat.
SAFETY
Use positioning belts and harnesses only to help support the user’s posture.
