Seating & Positioning

The 4 Point Dual Centre Pull Padded Hip Belt from Spex with four points of attachment to the wheelchair offers superior anterior support for the user’s pelvis suitable for enhanced positioning requirements.

The four attachment points mean that the main straps position the belt and the subordinate straps anchor the belt in position for enhanced support and prevents the belt from sliding up into the abdomen or twisting.

The Dual Centre Pull tensioning function of the hip belt is easy to operate for both the user or carer and tensions on both sides by pulling on the straps either side of the buckle. This suits clients requiring greater adjustment range and to accommodate varying layers of clothing etc.

Manufactured with top precision quality, this hip belt has comfortable cushioned pads with unique soft edge binding.

Spex Fixed-Angle Arm Supports provide functional forearm and upper extremity support, and whilst the angle remains fixed, the height of the arm support can be adjusted to ensure the user has the precise support they require.

Like all Spex systems, the Fixed-Angle Arm Support has a modular approach, creating flexibility and takes into consideration the individual and unique needs of different clients. Available in either Quick-Release or Swing-Down, the Spex arm support system ensures that the user has easy access in and out of the chair for transfers.

Spex is designed to mount on almost any chair and seating system, and the arm support systems are no different! The Fixed-Angle Arm Supports are available with either a Seat Base Mount to mount directly to the seat base of the wheelchair, or with a Rail Mount to attach directly to the chair’s seat rail.

Couple your arm support with a Spex Lateral Thigh Support! We offer Arm and Thigh Support Combos where the arm and thigh support share the same mounting mechanism for a sleek and tidy “all-in-one” solution. These are available in all the same mechanism options (Quick-Release or Swing-Down) and mounting hardware (Seat Base or Seat Rail mounts).

The Spex family of calf support options includes a basic neoprene calf strap, a deluxe comfort padded calf strap and a calf panel option for full calf support.

All calf support options feature adjustable attachment to the wheelchair using straps which fasten behind the support.

Soft water-resistant pads maintain their shape to support pressure-distribution for the calves.

Deluxe comfort padded calf strap option features a layer of pressure-reducing foam infill for the ultimate in calf support.
