4.2 Posture belt

The wheelchair can be equipped with a posture belt. It prevents
the user from sliding downward in the wheelchair or from falling
out of the wheelchair. The posture belt is not a positioning device.
WARNING!
Risk of serious injury / strangulation
A loose belt can allow the user to slip down and
create a risk of strangulation.
– The posture belt should be mounted by a
qualified technician and fitted by the responsible
prescriber.
– Always make sure that the posture belt is tightly
fitted across the lower pelvis.
– Each time the posture belt is used, check if it
fits properly. Changing the seat and/or backrest
angle, the cushion and even your clothes
influence the fit of the belt.
