It is recommended that the therapist ONLY make the following
adjustments should the needs of the child change as he grows and
develops. Tighten the nuts if they work loose.
Backrest height and side supports:
Adjust the backrest and side supports by adjusting the nuts with your
10mm spanners on the back of the buck as necessary (therapist).
It may be necessary to have an assistant support the child in an
upright position as you adjust the height.
How do I handle and adjust the

* This is a brief guide only. For additional information on fitting and adjustment of the Madiba2Go
Active, please contact [email protected] or phone 021 797 8239.
The side supports can be raised upwards/downwards and
inwards/outwards. This can be changed by adjusting the nuts on the
side nearest the lateral and adjusting the position of the side support
to support the user snugly. The trunk side supports should support the
user but not be too tight to prevent movement altogether. The trunk side
supports should not be causing pressure under the child’s arms and
should provide enough support to block the user’s pelvis and stop it
from shifting.
Adjust position of headrest:
The headrest is attached onto the backrest of the Madiba2Go Active and
can be moved/angled upwards or downwards, forwards or backwards.
This is done so that the user’s head is supported with the neck upright
and with eyes facing forward. Use a no 10 spanner and a 4mm allen- key.
The head should be comfortably supported at the base of the skull.
