8.4 - Putting on the Harness for Wheelchair Patients
- Put the left side of the cross over chest strap through the D-ring on the inside of the belt, pull back
and attach to the Velcro. Pull the right side of the cross over chest strap tightly over to the right,
through the D-ring and press securely on the Velcro.
- While holding the cuff in place (just above the knee) wrap the cuff and strap behind the leg between
the legs keeping the cuff taut. Pull on the strap to tighten comfortably. Press down on the Velcro to
secure the strap. Repeat the procedure for the right leg. The front strap on the cuff should be centered
on the thigh.
- Buckle up both buckles. Tighten up the top buckle by pulling first on one side of the adjusting strap
and then the other, keeping the buckle centered. Next tighten up the second buckle using the same
method. You may have to reposition the cross over strap and the first buckle to get a snug tight fit. Do
not tighten enough to restrict breathing. Make sure that the back D-ring is at the center back in
alignment with the spine.
Reposition leg straps if necessary after waist has been strapped. The shoulder straps will remain loose
until connected to the unweighting bar.
When strapping the waist area, fit the harness as tightly and as low as possible (have the person lift the
shoulders if able).
The patient is now ready to be unweighted. Before unweighting anyone, be sure the waist belt is snug
and that the safety snaps are closed completely.
- Place the wheelchair under the Lode BWSS. For treadmills, you may need to use a ramp to place the
person under the system.
- Pull the bar down and connect the extension with the karabiners to the unweighting bar
- Unweight the person from the chair and remove the chair. Adjust the extension as needed
Most of the comfort problems encountered during unweighting are the results of improper
adjustment of the harness.
