DJUSTMENT
:
• Ensure that you are sitting correctly, which means that you are sitting right at the back of the seat, your pelvis
is positioned erect and as symmetrically as possible, not to the front, to the side or at one edge of the seat.
• Position the postural belt so that your hipbones can be easily felt above the belt.
Note:
Most hip belts should
be angled more than 45 degrees (unlike automobiles/airplanes) to prevent slipping and bladder pressure.
• Adjust the belt length as needed using the cinch-mount or flat-mount fittings. The belt should be adjusted
so that you can fit a flat hand between the belt and your body when the buckle is fastened together.
• For a
padded postural belt
, the pads should touch each other when the belt adjustment straps are tightened.
• For a
standard (non-padded) postural belt
, the belt webbing should extend approximately 5-6” beyond the
buckle when the straps are fully tightened.
• The buckle should be positioned as centrally as possible when the postural belt is secured. To accomplish
this, belt adjustments should be made equally on both sides whenever possible.
IMPORTANT!
If the overall length/size of your postural belt is too large or too small, please contact your
Dealer for assistance. DO NOT operate your wheelchair until your postural belt is properly installed
