Q. How does the center-pull design work?

ensuring balanced adjustment on both sides. This provides a secure and
comfortable fit, making it easy to achieve proper pelvic alignment and support
during use.

for easy operation by users with limited hand strength or dexterity. Its compact
design ensures a snug fit and is ideal for pediatric or small-framed users,
providing reliable fastening with a simple press.
Q. How do the Sub-ASIS pads benefit users?

This enhances comfort, especially for users sensitive to abdominal compression,
and provides firm pelvic control.

sling seat upholstery or solid seat bases. Optional seat mounting brackets (20°

A. The Sub-ASIS pads attach with durable hook-and-loop material, allowing
them to be removed or repositioned as needed.
Q. Is the hip belt adjustable for comfort?

clothing changes or user comfort. The durable webbing maintains its shape and
fit over time.
