Pelvi-Loc Hip Belt
The Pelvi-Loc® system offers the ultimate solution for users with insufficient pelvic stabilisation by connecting the pelvis and legs to the wheelchair, forming a functional unit that enhances the efficiency of muscle use. Its 3D-shaped pads improve movement safety and provide all-day comfort, which is particularly beneficial for patients with extensor and high muscle tone. This design ensures superior comfort even with a firm belt on the pelvis.
By passively stabilising the pelvis and legs, Pelvi-Loc® significantly improves coordination and independence, allowing for better arm and hand movements without the need to constantly grip the wheelchair for stability. The easily operable ratchet buckle system can be managed with one hand and is compatible with various seating equipment, including wheelchairs, indoor chairs, and children’s strollers. The system features comfortable pads for high safety, easy-to-use ratchet levers, and an adjustable ratchet for maintaining correct pelvic tension, accommodating changes in clothing thickness due to weather.
