Shoulder Harness, Front or Rear Pull BodyPoint
Front or Rear-Pull Shoulder Harnesses offer maximum trunk support. The patented Laminar Pad construction distributes pressure broadly across the shoulders and the sternum.
The goal of the anterior trunk support is to extend the trunk and retract the scapulas, reducing the kyphosis. This aligns the trunk over the pelvis, improves respiratory capacity, increases safe swallow, increases head control, maintains a good visual field, and improves overall pressure distribution. If the individual is capable of active trunk extension, dynamics strapping may allow more anterior movement for functional reach, while still providing stability and improver posture.
