Rear pull suits the client whose hands should not be on the adjustment. Tension on this Dreamline four point padded hip belt is taken up from behind, out of the client’s reach, which keeps the prescribed setting intact for someone who would otherwise loosen the belt through the day.
It also keeps the front of the belt clear. There is no adjuster sitting over the lap, so the padded section lies flat across the pelvis and there is less hardware to catch during transfers or to press on the abdomen.
The four mounting points let you set the angle of pull to hold the pelvis down and back, which is the position you want on a client with an extensor pattern. Ribbed nylon webbing, stainless steel adjusters and a soft padded section make up the belt, with a choice of metal centre release or plastic side release buckle.
