Some clients sitting in an Activity Chair have no reliable upper torso control, and a seat belt alone leaves them drifting forward through the session. The chest strap is the answer to that.
It is a wide, padded band that crosses the chest and holds the trunk back against the backrest, giving the client the security to relax their arms and get on with eating, schoolwork or play. For the therapist, it buys a stable starting posture, which is what makes the rest of the setup worth adjusting.
The strap is made from a padded antimicrobial material that wipes down between users, so it suits a chair shared across a classroom or a day program as well as one that stays with a single client. It adjusts to fit and comes off without tools when the chair is set up differently for another person.
Straps are matched to the frame size of the chair.
