Distributing pressure across a greater surface area than a traditional H-style harness, the PivotFit™ Shoulder Harness has a body-contouring shape for optimal support and a comfortable fit. Curved laminar pads follow the contours of the shoulders and ribcage, with a low-placed sternum strap to reduce the risk of strangulation while providing easy adjustability. The new swivel buckle is twice as strong as competitive models and allows for precise pad placement for an individualized fit.
New MD (multi-directional) Pull Straps can be configured as either a front-pull or rear-pull at the time of the fitting to better accommodate individual user needs. No need to choose pull style when ordering.
Dynamic Style allows controlled movement to help manage spastic tone, while Standard Style is non-stretch to reduce movement, effective for severe kyphosis, spinal curvature, or trunk rotation.
The Bodypoint difference is in the details
Caution: Whenever a chest belt or other anterior trunk support is used, a properly-adjusted pelvic support should also be worn to prevent sliding.

Q How do I determine the size I need?
A Sizing details, including measuring instructions, are included in our Bodypoint Product Guide. Sizing information and measuring instructions are also available on the “sizing” tab on each product page.
Q Which end fitting option should I choose?
A We offer two end fittings options: Flat-Mount and Cinch-Mount. The Flat-Mount is low profile and can fit into tight mounting spaces. The Cinch Mount is quick and easy to adjust and is a good choice for frequent adjustments. Additional hardware options are available separately based on the type of wheelchair the item is mounting to.
Q Do your 4 point harnesses come with front pull or rear pull top straps?
A Top straps can be configured into both rear and front pull adjustments using our multi-directional top straps. You get both options in one harness!
Q Should I use strap guides with a harness?
A If your backrest height does not allow for optimal placement, strap guides offer more flexibility and positioning options.
Q Should a harness be used in conjunction with a pelvic positioning belt?
A Yes! A harness should always be used with a properly fitted pelvic positioning belt.
Q Should I choose a two point or a four point upper body support?
A If you are looking for lateral stability during activities, a two-point upper body support may be sufficient. If you require more trunk control and stability, including shoulder retraction, a four-point upper body support would be a better option.
