Q. What is the main function of the rear-pull four-point hip belt?
A. The rear-pull four-point hip belt provides enhanced pelvic stability by
firmly securing the pelvis at two points. It helps control obliquity, pelvic
rotation, and forward sliding while reducing abdominal pressure.
Q. How does the rear-pull design differ from center- or dual-pull designs?
A. The rear-pull system tightens from behind the pads toward the center
buckle, which is especially helpful for caregivers managing users with high
muscle tone or pelvic rotation. It allows for positioning one side of the pelvis
at a time.
Q. Can the user operate the buckle independently?
A. Yes, if the user has some hand function. The Rehab Latch™ buckle is
specifically designed to be lightweight, low-profile, and operable with limited
hand mobility.
Q. How easy is it for a caregiver to adjust the belt on someone with
limited mobility?
A. Very easy. The rear-pull system simplifies positioning by letting the
caregiver secure one pelvic side at a time before tightening both sides for full
support.
Q. Will the belt stay in place during transfers or throughout the day?
A. Yes. The four-point attachment system and durable hook-and-loop-secured
pads prevent shifting, ensuring consistent positioning and comfort throughout
use.
