Helps stabilize pelvic rotation and obliquity
Leg Harness for Hip Extension and Thrust
The Leg Harness is designed to address hip extension, thrusting, and sliding in the wheelchair. Inspired by a therapist’s request for a 5-point harness, it’s an ideal solution for users who exhibit spasticity or tend to slide out of position. Each leg wrap extends from the rear of the seat to the inner thigh at the front, increasing surface area for improved control of movement. Its unique, user-friendly design makes correct use nearly foolproof and allows for use with or without a pelvic belt, depending on the individual’s needs. This product is a great alternative to a groin strap.
Sold as a pair.
