Q. Who is the Trimline harness best suited for?
A. It’s ideal for users who require individualized support for each shoulder, especially those with asymmetrical posture, high tone, or strong movement tendencies.
Q. How does the Trimline harness differ from H-style or PivotFit harnesses?
A. Unlike H-style harnesses, the Trimline uses independent shoulder straps for greater adjustability and control. Each strap can be positioned and tensioned separately, which is helpful for users with uneven shoulder positioning or tone.
Q. Is the Trimline harness comfortable for extended daily use?
A. Yes. The harness features laminar foam pads with Bodypoint's proprietary edge binding that prevents skin irritation, along with breathable, stretch-resistant materials for comfort throughout the day.
Q. Do I need strap guides for installation?
A. Strap guides are recommended if your wheelchair’s backrest height or shape doesn’t allow optimal strap placement. They provide flexibility in adjusting the height, angle, and horizontal position of the straps for better support and comfort.
Q. Can the harness be used in both front-pull and rear-pull configurations?
A. Yes, the Trimline Shoulder Harness features MD pull straps that can be set up as either front-pull or rear-pull at the time of fitting, allowing caregivers or users to adjust based on individual needs or independence level. No need to choose the pull style when ordering.
