The importance of correct harnessing should not be underestimated; without it, the client’s pre-existing conditions could worsen and new disorders could develop. Proper harnessing is imperative to both aid normal growth and development and for the occupant’s own (and others) safety.
Kinetic Balance harnessing was founded in 2009 as a collaboration between sports and rehabilitation professionals. They created a range of harnessing which combined their knowledge of individual seating solutions with the latest technology in sports and water sports. It is this innovative approach which makes their harnessing so unique.

The main objectives of ankle cuffs are to keep the legs at the correct angle and to help control movement e.g. when the client is in spasm. KB ankle cuffs have been specifically designed to provide the right amount of pressure whilst still maintaining high levels of comfort.
Hand-wash at a maximum of 30°C. Do not tumble-dry. Check the product for wear on the webbing, belts and padded parts on a weekly basis. Check the level of attachment and tension of the webbing daily.
