The harness
Back to description|
|
The upper part is secured around the chest with two straps. The patient`s arms then go under the supporting belts (which appear triangular in the drawing), so that he can support himself with his arms/hands. The lower part (D)carries the body weight.Ist lower edge shoul follow the lower contours of the gluteal muscle. The two parts are combined by fastening the straps [B] and [C] to the respective buckles of the upper part. In order to support the patient's body weight, the whole harness is connected to a supporting system (mounted e.g. on the ceiling) by two metal rings and the supporting belts (top of drawing). |

The harness was developed and designed by Dr A.Wernig MD and S.Müller Ph.T. at the Klinikum Karlsruhe-Langensteinbach, Germany BONMED |
