7.15 Attaching the Pelvic
band
There is a different pelvic band for prone
and supine standing. In prone the pelvic
band should be attached to the user first, if
possible on a mat. The inner pelvic band is
wrapped around the user's pelvis and then
when the user is secured into the frame (by
their feet and chest) the longer straps are
slipped through the belt bars on the hip pad
(a) and secured firmly around the user. The
safety strap with the plastic buckle and clip
should then be secured to ensure the band is
not accidentally unfastened (b).
A
In supine the pelvic band should stay
attached to the product. When the user is
secured into the frame (by their feet and
chest) the inner pelvic band is wrapped
around the user's pelvis (c) and then the
longer straps (d) are slipped through the belt
bars on the hip pad (if they are not already
through) (e) and secured firmly around the
user. The safety strap with the plastic buckle
and clip should then be secured to ensure
the band is not accidentally unfastened (f).
