Two straps come with the advanced side lying board as

velcro overlap should be 3” or 75 mm at all times.
Specification
Positioning blocks are supplied with the
board to support the user. The blocks are
held onto the base of the board with velcro
Why? Benefits of the Adjustment:
Children will usually lie directly on their side for side lying but this can lead to problems with the upper hip
where the top leg has a tendency to roll forward bringing the top hip into adduction and medial rotation.
Adjusting the angle of the back and surface of the board can help to alleviate this as the child is tilted slightly
backwards and the top hip tends to be more stable in its position. This may also be less tiring for a child.
All belts and harnesses should be used at all
times. For therapy purposes it may be necessary
to deviate from this rule and any deviation
should be fully documented as part of a Risk
Assessment or Therapy Program and all relevant
staff and carers appropriately trained. Secure
client with straps before adjusting product.
Ensure finger’s width between safety strap and
client to prevent over tightening or client moving
to inappropriate position. Adjust straps for each
client and changes of clothing. Minimum Velcro®
overlap: 3 inches (7.5cm) on all straps. If strap is
not long enough: DO NOT USE PRODUCT.

Why? Benefits of the Adjustment:
The height adjustment allows the table to be set at a height that suits each child. The angle adjustment
means that children can use the table as an easel which may help to encourage head control, shoulder
protraction and back extension in sitting.
