Q. How does this harness differ from a traditional groin strap?
A. Unlike groin straps that may cause discomfort or pressure on the bladder,
this leg harness wraps around the mid to upper thigh, avoiding the groin area.
This design reduces pressure on sensitive areas and offers a more comfortable
and secure fit.
Q. Can the leg harness be used independently or does it require a pelvic
belt?
A. The harness can be used both independently or in conjunction with a
pelvic positioning belt, depending on the user's specific needs and the
recommendation of a healthcare professional.
Q. Is the harness adjustable to accommodate clothing or slight weight
changes?
A. Yes, the harness features adjustable straps to ensure a snug and
comfortable fit, accommodating minor changes in clothing or body size.
Q. How is the leg harness installed on a wheelchair?
A. The harness wraps each leg from the rear of the seat to the inner thigh
at the front of the chair.
Q. When should I use a leg harness?
A. The leg harness can be used to assist with pelvic positioning for a
client with high tone. It works best in conjunction with a pelvic positioning
belt.
Q. Is this harness safe for individuals with spasticity or high tone?
A. Yes, the padded design and side-release buckle allow secure yet
comfortable positioning even for users with involuntary movements or higher
muscle tone.
