Multi Gamma
Multi-grip™ Headrest
WHY?
The headrest should be positioned to support the child’s head. For children with good head control,
straighten out the multi-grips to provide a fairly smooth back surface. Never use the headrest to force a
child’s head into position as this will cause discomfort and can trigger reflexes which will result in poor
posture. The unique Multi-grip™ supports can be moulded to the shape of the child and can be splayed
at the end to support under the child’s chin.
Fig 14
Multi-grip™ Thoracic HOW?
Ensure the chest strap is used. Velcro should overlap by at least 3 inches
(7.5 cm)
.
To adjust the height of the thoracic supports loosen the thumb screw on the back column adjust to the
desired height and re-tighten. The width of the Multi-grip can be adjusted by loosening the bolts with the
Allen key provided then using your hands to create the contour you want. Tighten to finger tight only.
These fingers can be re-contoured as often as you like to vary the support offered.
Multi-grip™ Thoracic WHY?
The chest strap and Multi-grip™ thoracic support are designed to hold the child’s body straight whilst
sitting. Gravity then helps to develop their bones and their muscle tone. Ensure two fingers space between
the thoracic supports and the child’s armpit and a finger width from the child. Floppy children should be
supported by a combination of thoracic supports and hip supports to keep the spine straight. This helps to
prevent the child sitting with a curved spine.
A Multi-grip™ version of the Gamma
is available. Multi-grip™ supports
are positioned for the Headrest,
Thoracic and Hip Supports.
Multi-grip™ Headrest
HOW?
Using the Allen Key provided loosen
the bolts, then use your hands to
create the contour you want. Tighten
to finger tight only. These fingers can
be re-contoured as often as you like
to vary the support offered. These
“fingers” make it easy to cradle the
child’s head. No other products offer
this versatile option. Take the time
to practise with the “fingers” to
create a contour as individual as
each child.
Multi-grip™ Hip Support HOW?
To adjust the height of the thoracic supports loosen the thumb screw on the back column adjust to the
desired height and re-tighten. The width of the Multi-grip can be adjusted loosening the bolts with the Allen
key provided then use your hands to create the contour you want. Tighten to finger tight only. These
fingers can be re-contoured as often as you like to vary the support offered.
Multi-grip™ Hip Support WHY?
The Multi-grip™ Hip supports offer more control over the position of the hips and upper leg movement.
Secure the child by using the 45° pelvic strap before you begin to make any other adjustments.
Ensure the belt is adjusted for each child and for changes of clothing.
Ensure the straps are routed under the hip pads. Ensure a fingers width between the belt and the
child to prevent over tightening or the child moving to an inappropriate position.
Do not use
this product if you suspect the
Multi-grip™ Gamma
is faulty or broken.
