Hip belt
It is possible for the wheelchair to be
fitted with a positioning belt. The hip belt
offers extra seating stability under
normal use.
The hip belt is attached as follows (figure
4.11):
1. Attach the belt buckle using a nut
and bolt.
2. Pass the belt through the buckle.
•
Check that the hip belt is correctly
adapted to the wheelchair user.
The belt should lie firmly over the
hip at an angle of approx. 45° (fig
4.12).
•
Placing the belt over the hip,
against the soft skin of the
stomach, can result in the wrong
sitting position and the user
sliding forward in the wheelchair
(figure 4.13).
•
Make sure the belt is clean and
that the locking mechanism works
at all times. The belt and locking
mechanism can be cleaned using
a damp cloth.
•
Never use the hip belt as a safety
belt when transporting the user in
the wheelchair.
