Feet that slide back off the footplate put a client at risk of a caught ankle and pull the whole seated posture out of line. These webbing heel loops sit behind the heels and hold the feet where they were set, supplied as a complete pair with the attachment hardware.
They are deliberately low and unobtrusive, so they do not clutter the front of the chair or catch the eye. The attachment pins do not protrude, which removes a snag point during transfers, and the footplates still fold away with the loops fitted. The webbing resists twisting, so the loop stays open and a carer can place the foot in one movement.
