RMS Knee Adductor Pads have been designed to assist with the positioning
of an occupant's legs when seated in their wheelchair.
The mounting brackets are fully adjustable, allowing the pads to be positioned
correctly at the knee, for optimum support.
Any reference to left or right relates to the left or right-hand side of the wheelchair
as viewed from a seated position in the wheelchair.
RMS recommend fitment should be done by a suitably qualified person.
Before commencing, please ensure you have the correct size of Mounting Clamp
Fig.3, to suit the wheelchair hanger size.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To assist with ease of transferring, the wheelchair footrest
hangers, complete with attached Adductors, should be fully swung-away or
removed if necessary, during user transfers.
FITTING (Refer to Fig.3)

hanger. (For ease of later adjustment, the hexagon
drive screw heads, should be facing towards the
outside of the wheelchair).
Slide the appropriate side Adductor Stem,
complete with Pad, downwards into the Mounting
Clamp Spacer Bushes and temporarily secure

the wheelchair, raise or lower the Adductor Stem
in its Mounting Clamp to get the approximate

achieved by rotating the Mounting Clamp and /or
Adductor Stem around the footrest hanger.
Final height, depth or any angle positioning, can
be set by slackening screw (
