Clients who spasm in the chair often catch their calves and shins on the leg hangers, and repeated knocks on a bare alloy tube leave bruising or worse on fragile skin. Impact guards pad the hangers so the contact is absorbed.
They are also worth adding wherever the leg rests against the hanger for long periods, since a steady contact point on hard metal is a pressure risk in its own right. Guards are ordered to match the hanger angle on the chair.
