Designed by a Physiotherapist, the Sholder-Holder provides postural correction through correct shoulder positioning. Sholder-Holder can be used on wheelchairs, special chairs, standing frames and other specialised equipment and is available in a large range of sizes for children and adults. 

Maintaining postural control, balance and stability is often a near impossible task for children and adults with conditions severely affecting the neuromuscular system. They often adopt a slumped posture whilst sitting or standing using a standard harness. 

The BetLee Sholder-Holder Harness addresses this problem through direct positioning to promote trunk stability, balance and symmetry.

Using Shoulder-Holder

With correct shoulder positioning, slumping is reduced and more active head, neck and arm movements are encouraged. Improved eye contact encourages social interaction and there is the added benefit of safer and easier eating and drinking. 

The Sholder-Holder Harness is also a successful solution for children with spinal deformities, as individual adjustment of shoulder height on each side is possible.

Shoulder-Holder Fitting

The Sholder-Holder is suitable for use on wheelchairs, specialised positioning chairs, standing frames or wherever maintaining an upright and balanced posture is required. It is fixed to the rear of the chair with six camlocks. The front of the harness is adjustable with two snap fastenings. 

A Fixation Adaptor is now available for where fitting of camlocks is impractical. 

A pommel fixture is also available to allow the harness to be fixed to a pommel instead of to the chair seat frame. A harness with two interchangeable base fixtures is also available, to allow fixation in either manner. 

Shoulder-Holder Sizes

Standard sizes are available for ages 2-3, 3-5, 5-8, 8-12, 12-17 and adult (male or female) in small, medium, large and extra large. Custom sizes are also available. 

Please Note: This product must be attached and fitted correctly and professionally in order to be most effective. Incorrect positioning of the harness will reduce its supportive properties.
