EasyPivot Thigh Strap

The Back Lift Strap is used to help sit a disabled person upright from a prone position. It is useful for disabled persons who cannot be pulled upright by pulling on their arms. This includes persons with weak, painful, or subluxated shoulders such as the shoulders of a spinal injured quadriplegic of level C-4 or higher. The Back Lift Strap fastens around the user’s upper chest with hook and eye fastener. A padded support is positioned at the user’s upper back and two nylon pull straps are placed over the user’s shoulders. The helper can pull on the two pull straps in the same manner as one might pull on the user’s arms. However, the tension of pulling is borne by the nylon strap instead of the user’s shoulders.
