Re: [QUAD-L] CHEST STRAP / DRIVING
I agree with Bill, they should be able to do the shoulder strap or the harness device for anyone needing them. I have embedded a few pictures of my simple shoulder strap. I used to have my caregivers put a big chest strap around me, but I find this to be of much quicker method and when I am going to be out in an environment that has a lot of hills, it is more prudent to wear the shoulder strap than not. Please excuse the ugly mug, but this is what the strap looks like when it is on. Here is a picture of my niece attaching the shoulder strap down near my right hip. Just behind the Quartet bag you will see where the shoulder strap is attached to the back of the chair. They used a bolt just under the seating plate to secure the bottom of the shoulder strap. Man, this picture lets me know I need to get somebody to clean my chair. I mentioned it to my family the other day and they all said it looked fine. I guess their standards aren't the same as mine.

Most DME suppliers can equip a w/c with a 5-point harness for better stability and support. Ask them about it.

I use the velcro straps but I like the idea of the wheelchair seat belts better. Never thought of that. And yes, the velcro straps do eat up your clothes. I gave up on trying to keep a nice sweater. Diane p.s. the w/c belts are probably less expensive. ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
