Design & Function
Intended Use
The Residual Limb Support system increases user comfort and supports a
residual limb with multiple angles of adjustment and features an easy-to-clean
cover.
The Residual Limb Support allows the client to remove the pad or swing it away
while keeping the installed foot rigging in place.
Features
The Residual Limb Support system features:
- easy swing-away and removal for greater assistance in client transfers;
- full tilt angle adjustability;
- multiple mounting configurations;
- a track that promotes easy length adjustability; and,
- a soft, non-abrasive cover to increase user comfort.
Mounting Options
The Residual Limb Support system is able to be mounted in the following ways:
- clamp-style cane mounting; and,
- track-style chair mounting.
Installation
Mounting the Hardware
There are two ways of mounting the Residual Limb Support hardware, detailed
below.
To install the clamp-style (RLSPKG100) hardware:
- Interlock the opposing ends of the tube clamp around the wheelchair frame.
- Tighten the screw (C) through the adjacent holes on the clamp with a 3/16″ hex key.
- The swing away tube clamp (A) and the 1 3/8″ male tube clamp (B) is used to mount the hardware onto a 1 3/8″ tubing.
- The spacer package is used when mounting onto a smaller tube.
- Place the appropriate bushing (E) on the swing-away tube clamp (D) and use the corresponding-sized male tube clamp (F) before mounting.
To install the track-style (RLSPKGTB3) hardware:
Align the two (2) track nuts into the groove on the side of the wheelchair.
Slide the assembly into the desired location, then use a 5/32″ hex key to
tighten the screws firmly in place.
To install the pad to the hardware:
- Unzip the pad cover to reveal the back of the pad, which contains several tnuts. Choose the desired hole locations for the mount. Zip the cover back in place and mark the locations of the desired mounting holes.
- Using an awl or other pick-like object, create holes through the back of the fabric in the desired mounting location. There should now be two holes in the fabric which match up with the two corresponding t-nuts.
- Using a 5/32″ hex key, screw the two (2) 10/32 x 3/4″ socket head screws through the female cane clamp and into the screw inserts in the back of the pad. Tighten the screws to secure the female cane clamp in place.
- Loosely insert the tab on the male tube clamp into the groove provided on the female clamp and slide the swing-away tube clamp to the desired location in the clamp assembly.
- Using a 3/16″ hex key, tighten the two (2) 1/4-20 socket head screws into the two inserts on top of the male cane clamp to lock the pad in place on the cane.
Swing-Away Removal
The red button lock (D) allows the hardware to swing away or be removed to
assist in transfers. To swing the hardware away:
- Press the red button lock (D) and swing the hardware 90º to the side.
- Lift for removal.
Pad Adjustment
The pad’s position can be adjusted if more depth is required for the user.
- On the underside of the pad, loosen the two screws (C) on the cane clamp with a 3/16″ hex key until the position can be adjusted on the horizontal tube.
- Adjust to the desired position, then tighten the screws.
First Time Use
Dealer Assistance
During first time use by the client, it is advised that the dealer or
service technician not only assembles the components, but also explains the
configurations or positioning to the customer (i.e., the user and/or the
attendant). If needed, the dealer or service technician can make final
adjustments.
User Testing
It is important that the customer is fully aware of the installation of the
Residual Limb Support, how to operate it, and the ways in which it can be
adjusted to fit the specific needs of the client. A dealer should explain and
demonstrate the necessary installation steps, and should explain the functions
of the device’s components.
- Explain and demonstrate the initial setup of the Residual Limb Support, and explain the functions of all attached equipment.
Conditions of Use
The Residual Limb Support is intended for use as installed by Stealth
Products, in accordance with the installation instructions in this manual.
- The foreseen conditions of use are communicated by the dealer or service technician to the user and/or attendant during the first-time use.
- If the usage conditions change significantly, please contact your dealer or a qualified service technician to avoid unintended damage.
Care and Maintenance
Ensure the hardware used stays in working order by caring for and maintaining it.
- Keep electronics dry.
- Periodically check any hardware for loose screws or worn parts. Replace or repair the parts as necessary.
CAUTION If the wheelchair is involved in a collision, check all hardware thoroughly for damage. If there are any signs of damage, have a qualified technician inspect and replace the damaged components or send the parts to Stealth Products for a complete overhaul to ensure future safety.
