4.1 Posture Belts
A posture belt is an option which can either be fixed to
the mobility device ex-works or can be retrofitted by your
specialist provider. If your mobility device is fitted with a
posture belt, your specialist provider will have informed you
about fitting and usage.
The posture belt is used to help the mobility device user
keep an optimum seating position. Correct use of the
belt assists the user in sitting securely, comfortably and
well-positioned in the mobility device, especially for such
users who do not have such a good sense of balance while
sitting.
We recommend using the posture belt whenever the
mobility device is used.
4.1.1 Types of Posture Belts
Your mobility device can be fitted with the following posture
belt types ex-works. If your mobility device has been fitted
with a different belt to those listed below, please ensure
that you have received the manufacturer's documentation
with regard to correct fitting and use.
Belts with metal buckle, adjustable one side
Belts can only be adjusted on one side which can result in
the buckle not sitting centrally.
Belt with metal buckle, adjustable both sides
Belt can be adjusted on both sides. This means that the
buckle can be centrally positioned.
4.1.2 Adjusting Posture Belt Correctly
The belt should be tight enough to ensure that you
are sitting comfortably and that your body is in the
correct sitting position.
1.
Ensure that you are sitting correctly, which means that
you are sitting right at back of seat, your pelvis is
positioned erect and as symmetrically as possible, not
to front, to side or at one edge of seat.
2.
Position posture belt so that your hipbones can be
easily felt above belt.
3.
Adjust belt length using one of adjustment aids
described above. The belt should be adjusted so that
you can fit a flat hand between belt and your body.
