Q. What makes the rear-pull adjustment suitable for users with high muscle
tone?
A. The rear-pull design lets caregivers secure one side of the pelvis first,
locking it in place before adjusting the other. This is especially effective for
users with high tone or asymmetry, where precise positioning is critical.
Q. How does a four-point belt offer better pelvic control than a two-point
belt?
A. With four attachment points, this belt provides enhanced stability by
keeping the pelvis securely aligned, preventing the belt from shifting, riding
up, or twisting during movement or transfers.
Q. Why choose a side release buckle for wheelchair hip belts?
A. The side release buckle offers a balance of security and convenience,
providing a reliable snap-action closure that’s easy for caregivers to operate
while ensuring the belt stays securely fastened.
Q. What type of wheelchairs is this belt compatible with?
A. This belt is compatible with active wheelchairs using sling upholstery or
a solid seat base. When used with optional 20° or 90° seat mounting brackets, it
provides a snug, custom fit.
Q. What makes the padding comfortable for extended use?
A. It features closed-cell foam pads that offer excellent pressure
distribution, a wrinkle-free, soft fabric lining, and smooth edges to reduce
friction and discomfort during prolonged use.
Q. Can this belt be adjusted for different caregivers or users?
A. Yes. The rear-pull system allows consistent adjustment, while the D-ring
design accommodates larger hands and helps caregivers maintain control even when
dexterity is limited.

A. Sizing details, including measuring instructions, are included in our
