A seat harness stabilises the pelvis in the seat for a client who slides forward, rotates or thrusts. Wrapping each thigh, not the abdomen, puts the correction where it belongs and keeps pressure off the stomach, which matters for clients with a feeding tube or reflux.
Static versions hold firmly for high extensor tone. Stretch versions give a little with movement, which suits a client who needs some freedom without losing pelvic position. Front pull models are tightened from the front of the chair where a carer can see the buckles, and rear pull models keep the adjustment out of a client’s reach.
Sizes run from small through large so the harness can be matched to the seat width and the client’s build.
