A hip belt should conform to the user, not irritate bony prominences or soft tissue, and be positioned properly. A hip belt is never a substitute for a poor seating surface, cushion or back support. VARILITE 2-Point Hip Belt attaches to the wheelchair at two points, with padding placed relative to the ASIS (anterior superior iliac spine) to provide pelvic support or stability. Attach the 2-point hip belt to the side wheelchair canes to promote anterior pelvic tilt, and attach to the back canes, or to a solid back, several inches above the seat-to-back junction for posterior pelvic tilt.
