S.o.f.t. (Multi-Pad) Systems - Sunrise Medical Whitmyer Directions For Use Manual

S.O.F.T. Three Pad systems are completely adjustable and provide maximum lateral cervical and occipital support.
1. Simulation (Fig. 1): While holding the client's head with your hands in the desired position, observe the amount of
balance, types of movement and effects of pathological reflex activity.
Tip: A digital picture at this point could be very helpful during the final adjustment.
Remember: All S.O.F.T. configurations universally fit the ONYX, LINX, or PRO mounting systems. Pictures show a PRO
mounting system with a S.O.F.T. three pad configuration.
2. Prior to adjusting the head support to the user, familiarize yourself with the following points of adjustment: (Fig. 2)
A. base plate assembly rotation
B. lateral adjustment of sub-occipital pads
C. sub-occipital pad rotation
D. occipital pad depth
E. occipital pad height
F. occipital pad rotation
3. Adjust the height and depth of the mounting system to place the head support in the general position of the sub-
occipital and occipital regions of the head. (Fig. 3)
4. Gently slide the head support forward allowing the sub-occipital pads to make soft initial contact. Secure the position of
the mounting system. See pages 9-11 for mounting system adjustments.
5. Rotate, pivot, and adjust the sub-occipital pads to ensure good contact with the neck. Tip: Moving the occipital pad
completely rearward makes this adjustment easier. Adjust each sub-occipital pad to provide lateral cervical support and
lift under the occiput. The flared tips of the pads should extend under the ears and below the mastoid process. (Fig. 4)
Tighten bolts to secure position.
