Pelvic restraint belt (continued)
When fastened check space between the pelvic restraint
belt and user. When correctly adjusted it should not be
possible to insert more than the flat of the hand between
the pelvic restraint belt and the user, (Fig. 6.15.7).
The lap belt should be fixed so that the belt sits at an
angle of 45 degrees across the user’s pelvis. The user
should be upright and be as far back as possible in the
seat when correctly adjusted. The lap belt should not
allow the user to slip down in the seat.
(Fig. 6.15.8).
To fasten buckle:
Firmly push male buckle into female buckle, (Fig. 6.15.9).
To release buckle:
Press the RED button in the centre of the buckle then
pull the two halves gently apart, (Fig. 6.15.10).
NOTE:
If you have any questions on the use and
operation of the pelvic restraint belt, the please contact
your wheelchair dealer, carer or attendant.
