Dynamic harness with abdominal restraint belt, allows the trunk to be properly positioned while sitting. It perfectly stabilizes the sternum without restricting shoulder movement. Stabilization in the sternum enables an upright posture and reduces excessive flexion pattern. This in turn, improves head control, facilitates swallowing and breathing.
The product is made of two raw materials. The upper part is made of airy AIR material (activespace knitted fabric), the lower part is made of neoprene lamination (body distancing knitted fabric), all finished with piping. The waistcoat is fastened circumferentially with webbing and snap buckles, with the option of attaching the circumferential belt and harness with mounting triangles (4 included).
The design of the vest allows it to be mounted on most wheelchair backrests, rehabilitation chairs or other seats without the use of additional mounting elements. This is made possible by the clever design of the buckle belt, which connects the shoulder straps as well as the trunk straps to the back of the backrest with snap buckles.
Each chest support is available with front-pull (user’s fitting) or rear-pull (caregiver’s fitting). Choose your option while ordering the product. | |
