I. ADD OR ADJUST LATERAL/POSTERIOR PELVIC
SUPPORT AS REQUIRED
To obtain proper placement, we recommend placing the
individual in the wheelchair with the back adjusted to the
desired height.
Have the person lean forward at the waist and position
the lateral/posterior pelvic support so that the maximum
thickness is immediately at the belt line.
Remove the foam insert from the back by unbuttoning the
two snap buttons located at the bottom of the shell. Add or
remove the lateral/posterior contour strips as needed for the
client. Place the lateral pyramids on the left and right ends
of the lateral/posterior contour strips for additional lumbar
support.
The mounting track for the lateral/posterior contour strips
may be raised or lowered to match the client's needs by
loosening the mounting track hex nut, sliding in the track,
and re-tightening where needed (L).
NOTE: The lateral/posterior pelvic supports may be difficult
for clients to tolerate initially. Give the individual time to get
accustomed to the support before giving up on it. In the long
run, it may encourage proper posture and enhance sitting
stability.
J. ASSESS AND FIT THE LATERAL THORACIC
SUPPORTS
Assess client for proper positioning of the lateral thoracic
supports. Each support is independent and may be adjusted
for your client's clinical need.
1. To adjust the height, angle, or width of the lateral
thoracic supports, remove the foam inserts, loosen the
internally mounted bolts (M) and slide in the track to the
desired height and width. The angle is obtained by tilting
the bracket as needed. Tighten the bolts.
2. To adjust the depth of the lateral thoracic pads, remove
the pad covers, loosen the attaching bolts, slide to the
desired depth, re-tighten the bolts, and replace the pads.
WARNING!
A minimum of 25 mm (1") of clearance should exist between
the top of the lateral support and the arm pit.
