3656M Torso Support for Wheelchair, Medium

The product is made of strong and soft materials including the velcros and looks generally safe for use at home. I looked into the Possey product for our senior uncle because simple design and the belts won't tangle up. He is strong enough to pull off the velcros himself. We have used it only a few times after getting it because of need for his permissions. Only after the product arriving in the mail and trying out, I found that a small size would fit him much better. Anyone looking into this product should measure on an actual person while sitting on a wheelchair, the lengths needed for the shoulder straps that come off from back of wheelchair over the shoulder down from waist level in the back to the waist level in the front. Ask the company on what size one should get. Don't rely on memory as I did on body size as body size and posture can change somewhat with aging. I now run shoulder straps in a crossed pattern on the back side but the straps are still a little too long with the velcros catching barely on the waist belt. The extra length on the waist belt is not a problem for us.

It works well for my wife who has stage 7 Alzheimers and has difficulty sitting up straight while in the transfer chair. The belt is easy to use and appears very comfortable. The only mistake I made was ordering a medium, being fearful it wouldn't fit, so when you measure buy the proper belt that corresponds with your measurement.

Extremely useful, helps keep the patient steady on the wheelchair, easy to carry and the velcro straps are resistent, have been using it for months now with no issues. It does keep the patient steady but does not avoid the patient from sliding down, so it is recommended to still supervise the patient constantly.

Doesnt look good (very ugly), not easy to put on and awkward, does keep wheelchair bound person from falling out of chair.

I teach Personal Care and MOBILITY. I am an Ambassador and visit clients for assessing their current needs. My agency has provided 5 Posey Torso Supports to aid posture in wheel chairs. Love them. Life changing for the right person.

I purchased this item to secure my 135 lb wife in a secure upright position in her 18 in. wheelchair. The size I ordered was medium, but it will fit a giant and not a 135 lb individual. It is not usable for my purpose.

It works perfect only down side the velcro wears off after some time and time for new one. I purchased twice so far for my 87 yrs old mother.

Works really well although bought a medium and should have bought a small. Had thought we would need to allow for winter clothing thickness but it was more than large enough. Still works perfectly, though.
