PY5686 Lateral Trunk Supports – Precision Torso Alignment

Adjustable Flat Pads for Planar Backrest Stability

The PY5686 is a pair of lateral trunk supports designed specifically for the EasyStand Bantam Medium equipped with a Planar (flat) Backrest. These supports act as "side-rails" for the torso, providing the necessary boundaries to keep a user’s trunk vertically aligned and preventing leaning or scoliosis-driven collapsing during the standing transition.

Key Features:

Flat Pad Design: These pads provide a firm, consistent surface area to stabilize the mid-thoracic region. They are ideal for users who need clear physical cues to maintain a midline position.

Broad Adjustment Range: The brackets allow for a width adjustment between 9” and 14.5” (23–37cm), making it easy to tailor the fit to the user’s specific chest width or to accommodate growth over time.

Symmetrical Stability: By providing equal support on both sides, these laterals help reduce the effort required for the user to stay upright, which can improve respiratory function and head control.

Swing-Away or Fixed: Depending on the bracket configuration, these typically allow for easier transfers by moving out of the way, then locking back into the precise position needed for standing.
