Seat Depth Adjustment

The Boston Junior has the option to alter the seat depth with a choice of two sets of detachable adjuster pads, 25.4mm (1”) or 50.8mm (2”).  Any number of pairs of these can be purchased.  The covers can be removed for cleaning or replacement.

The seat depth should be long enough to support the upper part of the legs whilst allowing the back to rest comfortably on the backrest. If the seat is too long the user is likely to slouch in the chair to get their feet on the floor, which puts extra pressure on their lower spine, if too short it will cause additional pressure on the thighs risking potential skin breakdown.

Height and Angle Adjustable Footplate

A height and angle adjustable footplate allows for an additional range of support positions. The footplate can also be removed or flipped up to allow uninterrupted access with a hoist. The footplate has a removable cover for replacement or cleaning.

Angle Adjustment

The footplate has four positions to accommodate for fixed flexion and to maintain the foot position for users with drop foot. It can be folded up against the leg rest if required. It is easy to change the position by simply using the pull strap on the right-hand side of the base of the footplate to engage the locking pin.

Height and Angle Adjustable Footplate

Easily adjusted using the locking pin at the back of the footplate the seat height to footplate range is 432mm to 584mm, (17” to 23”).

Wedge Adjustment Blockers

Wedge adjustment blockers are available with all our back cushions on the Boston Junior. The blockers fit behind the cushions allowing the carer to change the level of support and adapt the back for a user’s changing needs. Available in two sizes 50.8mm (2”) and 76.2mm (3”) depth. Any number of these can be purchased. The covers can be removed for cleaning or replacement.

Padded Detachable Footrest Pad

The footrest pad can be simply secured to the footplate providing the user with a softer and deeper cushion support. Available in three sizes – 25.4mm, 50.8mm and 76.2mm (2”, 3” and 4”).  Any number of these can be purchased.  The cover can be removed for cleaning or replacement.

Lap Strap and Pad

A lap strap that can be easily shortened or lengthened and which has a quick release clip can be purchased. This is a lap strap and not a pelvic positioner and should never be used for restraining purposes.

PivotFit Shoulder Harness

The PivotFit™ Shoulder Harness represents the latest in innovative design from Bodypoint. Distributing pressure across a great surface, the PivotFit Shoulder Harness offers a body-contouring shape for optimal support and a comfortable fit.

Continuous smooth padding prevents dirt and debris getting trapped in the harness. The PivotFit harness can be purchased with either front pull adjustment or rear pull adjustment to suit the needs of most users.

As the name suggests, the star feature of the PivotFit is the pivot buckle on the sternum strap, which prevents the harness becoming twisted and uncomfortable during movement.

The harness comes as standard with no stretch in the upper straps, and is more suitable for corrective positioning. Other options are available upon request (non-stock).

Using rigorously tested materials, metal buckles and strong mountings, these belts won’t let you down.

Two Point Push Button Centre Pull

This type of belt has two points of attachment to the chair. Two-point attachment is suitable when the belt is supporting users with low tone or weakness.
