ANKLESURES (Optional)
Tools Required: 4mm Hexagon Key and 8mm Spanner.
RMS Anklesures, are devices intended for use to control unwanted foot
movements and are easily fitted to the Multi-positional Footrests recommended
for use with the Gill 4 Seating Systems.
Anklesures are available in five sizes and manufactured to suit left and right side
fitting. To ensure correct comfort
and to achieve their intended
purpose, it is recommended
they are fitted by a suitably
qualified person.
Installing Anklesures
Initially, two special Mounting
Bridges must be installed onto
each Footrest, as shown in
Fig.19, using the screws, nuts
and washers, supplied in the
Anklesure Kit.
Care should be taken not to
over-tighten the screws.
For ease of use when fitted, it is
recommended that the Tri-glide, through
which the ankle-band strap is routed,
and then pulled back on itself, should be
towards the inside of each foot as Fig.19.
To attach each Anklesure to its Mounting
Bridges, route the free end of each
vertical side strap, downwards on the
foot side of the Bridges, then under the
Bridges and back upwards on the
outside of the Bridges, then finally thread
the strap through its own Tri-glide as
Figs.20.
These
straps
should
be
adjusted with the user seated to ensure
correct positioning.
To use the Anklesures, open out each ankle-
band sufficient to enable the user’s
foot to be placed inside. With the ankle-band strap routed through its Tri-glide,
pull the strap gently back on itself to achieve the correct contact and secure via
the Velcro panel.
Whilst correct positioning of the Anklesures will depend on the user’s
requirements, care should be taken not to over-tighten these devices.
