Stealth Products Stealth Positioning Pelvic Belts Manual

Pelvic support

The Stealth Positioning™ line of pelvic belts, vests, chest straps and foot positioners are

intended to help wheelchair users attain proper alignment of the torso, pelvis and feet.

Comfort, stability and improved clinical posture are achieved through the use of breathable

material and structured support.

Pelvic positioning impacts all aspects of proper seating and safety. Pelvic positioning

systems are placed in front of the client's pelvis to maintain a neutral position (to the degree

possible for each client). A properly positioned pelvic support may:

▪

Help stabilize the pelvis, which directly affects seated body alignment;

▪

Aid in the prevention of sacral sitting, unsafe and non-functional postures, skin breakdowns,

and increased pressure on bony prominences;

▪

Increase postural stability, decreasing the effort needed to sit;

▪

Facilitate posture, allowing an increase in upper extremity movement;

▪

Contribute to proper head positioning and neck alignment; and,

▪

Reduce negative postural tendencies that can lead to orthopedic deformities and other

secondary medical complications.
