ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The Chair Lateral Supports are designed to help stop people leaning forward or to the side without applying a full restraint.
The foam supports are fitted to the wheelchair with one on each side. There are two connecting straps that are fastened around the back of the chair. They are primarily designed for use on wheelchairs, but they may be suitable for some other chairs.
The supports are made from firm foam with convolutions on the curved top. This helps prevent pressure sores under the armpit if the person is resting on this section.
WHO SHOULD USE THIS PRODUCT?
The Chair Lateral Supports are suitable for people who need lateral support or who tend to fall sideways when sitting in a chair or wheelchair.
HOW TO USE THIS PRODUCT
Place the two supports inside the armrests on the wheelchair. Place the two connecting straps around the back of the chair. After the person has sat down, raise the supports so they sit just under the armpits, with the arms positioned outside, so that if they lean forward the raised curved section helps prevent excessive leaning.
When the person needs to stand up, the supports can be loosened or removed from the chair to allow the person to lean forward during the standing process.
