The Kaye Suspension Harnesses were designed to comfortably hold clients when in the Kaye suspension Walkers and all Kaye Posture Control Walkers with Suspension Accessories.  Each harness is made of material that has a compression element so that the body vest fits snugly around the client and fastens with buckles. These harnesses have two distinct styles depending on the size and weight of the client.

We recommend that the client dons the vest in supine or standing with the hips in extension. In addition, the lower buckles, around the pelvis, must be pulled tight to keep the vest in place when the client is suspended. Clothing under the vest should not be bulky and cause uncomfortable wrinkles nor slippery material that will cause the vest to slide up as the client walks.

Small and Medium Slim have three components, a body vest, 4, compression straps and 4 strap pads. These harnesses fit between the legs like diapers and buckle up each side. Because of the construction of these harnesses they are most comfortable for children under 60 lbs.

Medium and Large have four components, a body vest, 4 compression straps, four strap pads and two thigh cuffs. These models depend on the compression of the vest and the thigh straps to hold the vest in place. These vests buckle up the front and back.  Because they do not have any component between the legs, they are comfortable for older, heavier clients and can hold up to 200 lbs.

The four compression straps can be added to aid alignment of the trunk, head and hips. The strap pads are added once the client is suspended to protect the head from the hardware on the suspension system.
