The belly bumper pad fits to the body cutout edge of a wheelchair tray, where the tray sits against the client’s abdomen. It puts a soft surface between the tray edge and the body, which is the difference between a tray being comfortable for a full day and being tolerated for ten minutes.
It is worth fitting for clients who lean forward into the tray, for anyone with fragile skin across the abdomen, and for clients who cannot reposition themselves away from a hard edge. It also softens the contact for clients who use the tray as a postural stop for the trunk.
It is a small part that often decides whether a tray gets used at all.
