Postural belts

A postural belt is an option which can either be fixed to the mobility device ex-works or can be retrofitted by your specialist dealer. If your mobility device is fitted with a postural belt, your specialist dealer will have informed you about fitting and usage.

The postural belt is used to help the mobility device user keep an optimum sitting position. Correct use of the belt assists the user in sitting securely, comfortably and well-positioned in the mobility device, especially for such users who do not have such a good sense of balance while sitting.

We recommend using the postural belt whenever the mobility device is used. The belt should be tight enough to ensure that you are sitting comfortably and that your body is in the correct sitting position.

4.1.1

Types of postural belts

Your mobility device can be fitted with the following postural belt types ex-works. If your mobility device has been fitted with a different belt to those listed below, please ensure that you have received the manufacturer's documentation with regard to correct fitting and use.

Belt with metal buckle, adjustable both sides

Belt can be adjusted on both sides. This means that the buckle can be centrally positioned.

Harness with metal buckle, adjustable on both sides

Harness can be adjusted on both sides. This ensures that the buckle is always centrally positioned.

4.1.2

Adjusting the postural belt correctly

1.

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.

2.

Position the postural belt so that your hipbones can be easily felt above the belt.

3.

Adjust the belt length using one of the adjustment aids described above. The belt should be adjusted so that you can fit a flat hand between the belt and your body.
