Q. What is the purpose of the Bodypoint Non-Padded Hip Belt?
A. This belt helps improve pelvic positioning and stability for wheelchair
users, especially those with low muscle tone or at risk of sliding, sacral
sitting, or pelvic tilt. It supports safety and posture without adding bulk.
Q. What are the dimensions and weight specifications?
A.
- Medium Size: 1½" wide, 56" total length
- Large Size: 2" wide, 61" total length
Despite its sturdy construction, the belt remains lightweight for daily use
and easy handling.
Q. Is this belt comfortable for all-day wear?
A. While non-padded, it features proprietary soft webbing that’s gentle
on the skin and resists wrinkling. For added comfort and pressure relief on
bony areas, optional Slip-on-Pads can be purchased separately.
Q. How easy is it to use for individuals with limited hand function?
A. Rehab Latch™ Buckle is low-profile, strong, and designed for
users or caregivers with limited dexterity. It offers secure fastening with
minimal effort.
Q. Can this hip belt be customized or upgraded?
A. The belt can be paired with Slip-on-Pads for targeted cushioning and
pressure distribution. For users with severe sliding or pelvic rotation, a
4-point belt or Evoflex® may offer better support.
Q. Is this belt compatible with most wheelchairs?
A. Yes, the stiffened webbing makes threading through end fittings easy,
ensuring broad compatibility with a wide range of wheelchair models and
positioning needs.
