Legs that drift back under the seat end up behind the footplates, and from there the client loses their foot position and the carer ends up repositioning them by hand. The Spex basic neoprene calf strap runs across the back of the calves and keeps the lower legs forward where they belong. It is the entry option in the Spex calf support range.
It is the right answer when the problem is position rather than pressure. The neoprene pad is soft and water resistant, holds its shape and spreads load across the calf instead of cutting in along a narrow band. The strap fastens behind the support and adjusts, so depth can be tuned as leg position or the footplate setting changes, and it mounts to the wheelchair frame without dedicated hardware.
Where the client has fragile skin, sits in the chair for long stretches or needs more offloading, step up to the padded version with pressure reducing foam infill, or the wider calf panel. Custom sizes are available across the range.
