BCK SUPPORT DJUSTMENTS The following instructions are for using the adjustable support features on cta-series back supports. ll support systems can be adjusted for changes in condition at any time. Using Moldable Support Stays on all cta-back & cta-embrace back supports: djusting wings on cta-embrace back supports: Please contact Customer Service for additional wings if needed. Rear view to show stay pockets (cta-back shell) Samples of various ways stays may be molded With the user seated, identify gaps between them and the back support or areas that require positioning. Tip: Use stays in an offset placement to accommodate for rotation. 2 Unzip the top of the cover and remove the stays from the inner pockets. 3 Mold the stays with hands or firm surface. Keep in mind that the black end is the bottom when molding. 4 Reinstall stays in the inner pockets appropriate for the shape desired and have the user rest against the back support. 5 Repeat process as needed to achieve desired goals. Tip: djust regularly with changing condition and positioning needs over time. Front view cta-embrace shell Flipped wing orientation When using Compass Power Mount Hardware, wings are attached to the anterior side of the shell. Remove the back support cover to access the wing fasteners. 2 Loosen fasteners for height and medial-lateral adjustments or to rotate the wings. Lateral trunk supports are attached to the wings and have additional adjustments available. 3 dditional slots are available on most cta-embrace shells for greater range of adjustment or offset positioning. Remove fasteners and move wings to the desired slot when needed. Tips: Use wings in the flipped orientation by removing fasteners and moving them to the opposite side of the shell. dditional wings may be added to achieve a 3-point lateral support. Mix and match wing sizes as desired. Using the Boa Closure System on cta-relief back supports: With the user seated, pull the reel to release tension. Tip: Pop the Boa reels open from the side like a bottle opener using an index finger hooked under the reel while the thumb pushes on the top of the opposite side of the reel. 2 Let the user sink into the back support so the cables form around them then push the reel in to engage the system. 3 Turn each reel until the desired shape is achieved. The cables will pull with even tension and conform to the user s shape. 4 Repeat process as needed to achieve desired goals. Tip: lso adjust regularly with changing condition and positioning needs over time. cta-relief setup: Ideally, the lowest Boa cable should be located at the user s PSIS. With increased tension, it will capture the user s pelvis. The next cable up should support the lumbar region. The top one or two cables (whichever is applicable) can then be adjusted to the user s needs and comfort. PULL to release Use the Boa Closure System to open up the chest cavity, bring the user s line of sight up, and increase comfort and stability. 2 PUSH to engage TURN to tighten 3 Create even pressure along the entire back by accommodating deformities and allowing for immersion through the back support shell. Increase tension in areas that need additional support and encourage proper positioning. SET UP & DJUSTMENTS 3
