12. Knee support and chest strap
The most important safety features are the knee support and the chest strap.
It is essential to secure yourself every time you would like to change from
sitting into standing position. Caution: Carry out each step carefully before
moving yourself into the upright position to avoid injury.
12.1. Knee support
The knee support holds the knees in an extended posture and prevents you slipping
out of the wheelchair while standing up.
Attach the two eyes of the knee support to the double-head screws on either side of
the wheelchair (see figure on the left below).
Centre the knee support in front of each knee using the Velcro fasteners, then pull it
until it is sitting firmly in place, just below (not right on) the knee cap and not too
tight (figure above right).
12.2. Chest strap
The chest strap holds the upper body in place. Make sure that the strap is securely
fastened to the backrest.
To release the chest strap simply press the red button in the center of the catch.
Try to avoid wearing the chest strap on bare skin as the material might cause dermal
injuries or irritations.
