Glide Lock Accessories
Insert the glide lock
end into the alu-
minium base of the
bed, between two
of the sections of
mattress, as shown
above.
Fitting the glide lock accessories
Adjusting the glide lock accessories: Position
1: To move backwards, tip the
pad forwards
2. To move forwards, tip the pad
backwards
Adjusting the glide lock accessories: Angle
Why? Benefits of the Adjustments:
The positioning pads are the main means of controlling posture in Dreama2. The pads slide between the mattress sections
giving unlimited scope to support a whole body, a limb or a joint. The pads can be moved with the client in position and the
client’s position can be changed in moments without the need to take them out of the bed. The rotating mechanism allows
you to contour the support even more closely to suit an individual client’s needs. See the examples below of how the position-
ing pads can be used.
To rotate the glide-lock positioning pads, hold the top of the pad, pull slightly upwards and rotate. When in
desired position, push down to lock.

Optional Components
Locking Stop
Accessories
Fitting the locking stops
and locking stop Accessories
1. Slide Locking stops in
from the end of the channel,
as shown left.
2. Locking stops can also be
dropped sideways into the
channel and turned to locate
3. Make sure the locking foot
is lying completely horizontally
across the channel before
tightening it up. Tighten the
white wing nut to secure.
Where the locking feet are an integral part of an accessory (except hoops) they come attached to the
accessory via webbing. There are quick release buckles on the webbing. Ensure these buckles are done up
when using the locking feet. Do not use the locking feet in the same channel as the accessory if you want to
use the quick release mechanism.
Why? Benefits of the Adjustments:
Locking Feet/Pad Stops are used to enhance the security of the accessory’s position when the client
displays repetitive movements that are likely to ‘walk’ the accessory out of place. As locking feet, the locking
section comes as part of the accessory.
The locking section can be used on its own to form a stop in a given channel which ensures that accessories
such as support pads are always positioned in the same place. This allows the technical user to set up
positions for pads and accessories and carers simply push the pads up to the stops when using Dreama2.
4. When using to keep an
accessory in place, make sure
that the straight edge of the
locking foot is touching the
straight edge of the accessory
base.

Accessories
Abduction Block
The abduction block is a glide lock accessory and is
fitted as described on page 17. It can also be used
along with locking feet, as shown on page 18
WHY?
The abduction block is used to maintain the client’s
legs in abduction.
Leg Supports
The Leg Supports are glide lock Accessories and are
fitted as described on page 17. They can also be used
along with locking feet, as shown on page 18.
To position a client in the leg supports, undo the buckle
on the side of the knee cup, open the knee cup, gently
lift the client’s leg into position. Once in position, clip the
buckle back together, ensuring at least a fingers width
between the client’s knee and the upper pad.
WHY?
The leg supports are designed for use when there is a
specific reason that the leg requires extra support. This
may be following injury or surgery.
Positioning Pads
The positioning pads are glide lock accessory and
are fitted as described on page 17. They can also
be used along with locking feet, as shown on page
18
Why? Benefits of the Adjustments:
Positioning pads are used to hold the client in the

Optional Components
Accessories
Footplates (angle adjustable)
The angle adjustable foot supports use the
glide-lock post and rotating head system, as
explained on page 17. They can be used in
conjunction with locking feet as explained on
page 18.
Hoops
WHY?
The foot support allows the correct therapeutic
position for the feet to be achieved and offers
support for the feet in the chosen position.
To alter the footplate angle, loosen the wing
knob as shown, adjust angle and tighten the
wingknob
To alter the footplate position, loosen the two
wing knobs show, slide forwards or back-
wards and retighten both wingknobs
The hoops use the locking stop attachment and fit as shown on page
18.
Why? Benefits of the Adjustments:
Hoops can control a client’s movements while still allowing them
some ‘wriggle room’. In this way a given range of movement can be
prescribed.
Hoops can also be used to take the weight of bed covers so protecting
clients who cannot tolerate the weight or those who have broken skin.
Do not use hoops over clients head or neck
