7.1. Lateral Supports
Lateral supports help to maintain an individual’s posture and encourage an appropriate midline
position.
Lateral Supports are generally used as a pair with one fitted to either side of the Florien II chair.
They adjust independently but operate in the same way.
The lateral supports attach to the chair through the lateral support bar at the back of the chair.
To attach or detach the lateral supports, simply unscrew the triangular handle and slide each
support into or from the bracket at the back of the chair.
• The two lateral supports can be moved horizontally (wider or narrower) or rotated vertically (up
and down) to support the occupant of the chair.
• When appropriate positioning has been found then the “triangular” handles should be tightened
to provide stable and secure support.
7.2. Height Adjustable Flip-Up Footrest
The height adjustable footrest provides added support and positioning for the feet and is highly recommended to avoid foot-drop and
other similar conditions.
The footrest can be raised to lie against the legrest when entering or exiting the chair and folds down when in use. When lowered, the
footrest sits at 90°® to the legrest.
IMPORTANT
Both lateral supports can be completely removed when required or rotated to the back of the chair.
This is essential during the removal of the arm modules..
CAUTION
The carer should keep hands clear of the footrest hinge whilst operating the flip-up footrest
to avoid risk of pinching fingers.
