Forward-leaning
Figure 23a:
This shows how a more
pronounced forward-leaning position
is achieved. Note the chest prompt tilt
and the location of the hip positioner
behind the child’s shoulders. The front hip
positioner straps are attached to the chest
prompt posts. The hand loop clamps are
attached to the front of the top bar.
1. To adjust the child's forward-leaning
angle:
• Use the chest prompt tilt adjustment.
• Keep the top of the chest prompt
away from the armpits to avoid
pressure and discomfort.
2. Adjust hip positioner or pelvic support:
• Adjust height of handhold posts.
• Use straps to adjust hip positioner or
pelvic support angle and to position
child’s pelvis in the desired forward-
leaning angle in relation to the chest
prompt.
