The Small Drop Support Harness is a unique, upper body support belt that wraps around the waist, chest, and torso, with an attached central handle. The vertical support handle allows the assistant to provide a better way to support a child who is at high risk for falls when walking.
The Small Drop Support Harness was developed for children who are at a high risk for falls due to epilepsy, seizures, during gait training and rehabilitation, or any condition when support is needed. The vertical support handle, located on the back, runs the length of the torso instead of horizontally like a standard gait belt. The added support straps over the shoulders and chest area help the assistant in better managing and stopping forward falls. The support handle sits higher on the child’s back so that it is more accessible.
The Small Drop Support Harness is designed to fit users who have a shorter torso length of 9 to 12 inches, weighing up to 150 pounds. The waist belt expands to fit up to 30 30-inch waist. See the Drop Support Sizing Chart image for guidelines for measuring.
