Q. What is the purpose of this hip belt?
A. This four-point padded hip belt is designed to enhance pelvic stability
and control obliquity and rotation by securing the pelvis at two firm points,
while reducing pressure on the abdomen and bladder.
Q. Will caregivers find it easy to use this belt?
A. Yes, the center-pull design allows both sides to tighten evenly from the
front, making it quick and simple for caregivers to position and adjust the
belt.
Q. What kind of buckle does it use?
A. The belt features a metal push-button buckle that is secure, durable, and
sized for ease of use—particularly for children or users with limited dexterity.
Q. Does the belt interfere with the user's clothing or comfort?
A. No. The belt is low-profile and uses soft padded materials and gel pads
to stay comfortable under clothing and during extended wear.
Q. Will this belt help prevent pelvic sliding or leaning in the
wheelchair?
A. Yes, the four-point attachment provides firm support on both sides of the
pelvis to prevent forward sliding and lateral leaning, improving overall posture
and comfort.
