Features
Breathable Material
Constructed from a unique open cell material that allows air to circulate and moisture to escape. This contributes to reduced heat build-up and a cooler, drier, and more comfortable user experience.
Offset Belt Anchors
A slight offset allows for easy adjustment without loosening the anchor bolts.
Swivel Buckles
Swivel buckles on the lower attaching straps allow self-adjustment, supporting the correct angle of attachment.
Dynamic Support
Dynamic Support provides postural control, a degree of trunk movement, and a softer fit on the body. The user has movement within a limited range, encouraging return to their neutral position.
Structured Support
i-Fit structured material is more resistant to high tone, aiding in the maintenance of correct posture.
Full Length Attaching Straps
Provides for proper positioning of the side release buckles, ensuring that the posture support maintains adjustment.

Posture Straps
i‑Fit Y-Strap, Backpack Style and H-Style Harness
Y-Strap
The Y-Strap provides some anterior thoracic support but is primarily designed to de-rotate the trunk. Attaching the top double "Y" portion of the strap above and below the shoulder allows the tension straps to retract the rotated trunk and shoulder, bringing the client in contact with the back support.
In most circumstances, Shoulder Straps are able to limit trunk rotation. If Shoulder Straps are inadequate, a Y-Strap may be indicated. By applying forces above and below the shoulder, trunk rotation is more limited

Shoulder Straps
Stealth offers two different styles of shoulder straps. The Backpack Style Straps are narrow and provide support with minimal contact. The H-Harness uses a wider strap for increased contact and includes a horizontal strap to maintain the position of the shoulder straps.
Shoulder straps tend to work best for clients who tend to flex forward at the trunk. Anterior Vests tend to work better for clients with a lordotic tendency who hyperextend at the lower trunk as pressure is provided over the sternum. The Backpack Style straps work well for clients who desire minimal anterior thoracic contact, as well as for females. The H-Harness provides more anterior thoracic contact and the horizontal strap prevents the straps from slipping off the shoulders.
