Focused shoulder retraction that keeps chest clear
Trimline Shoulder Harness
For those needing focused shoulder retraction, the Trimline features two separate, adjustable padded straps that comfortably accommodate asymmetry while keeping the chest clear for maximum freedom of movement. 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.
The Bodypoint difference is the details:
- Straps unbuckle behind the user’s shoulders, not on the chest.
- Independent pads move apart when a user leans forward, avoiding strangulation.
- Individual pads can be used together or singularly to more easily address asymmetrical positioning.
- New streamlined design eliminates webbing on the front of the pad.
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 You can find sizing details and measuring instructions in our Bodypoint Product Guide or on the “Sizing” tab located 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, good 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.
