|---|---|
| XXSmall | 7″ or Less |
| XSmall | 7 – 9″ |
| Small | 10 – 11″ |
| Medium | 12 – 13″ |
| Medium/Large | 14 – 15″ |
| Large | 16 – 18″ |
| XLarge | 19 – 22″ |
If the measurement is between sizes, go down a size.
For example, if the measurement is 13-3/4 inches, order a size Medium;
if the measurement is 18-1/2 inches, order a size Large, and so on.
Can the rear lifting harness be used with the Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair?
Yes, the Walkin’ Lift Rear Harness is fully compatible with the Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair. It can be used to support your patient during rehab sessions or quick walks and is designed to clip into the wheelchair in place of the leg ring support.
Can a pet relieve themselves while wearing their harness?
The Walkin’ Lift Rear Harness is designed to allow a pet to go mess-free. The harness is designed with two different shaped cutouts; turn the harness to best accommodate your patient’s anatomical needs.
Can the harness be used to support patients on short walks?
The Walkin’ Lift Rear Harness gives patients the back leg support they need to stand and walk as they regain their leg strength. It is perfect for clients who need to assist their pet into a vehicle, provide their dog with additional support as they climb stairs, and help them get outside quickly to relieve themselves.
Are the handles of the harness adjustable?
Each Walkin’ Lift Rear Harness features two handles. The handles adjust in height so that you can safely lift and support a patient without straining your back. The handles adjust as small as 4.5” and as long as 27”.
Is the harness washable?
The rear harness can be washed in the washing machine if soiled, but we recommend laying it flat to air dry.
