Why Wheelchair Belts Should Not Be Mounted Like Car Seatbelts | S2 EP2 with Barend ter Haar

Episode 2 of Season 2 is here! This episode of Wheel Chat answers a deceptively simple clinical question: how do we use standards to make better wheelchair seating decisions, especially when the common default is not necessarily the best clinical option?Justin speaks with Barend about ISO standards, pelvic belt positioning, four-point belt use, wheelchair transport tie-downs, cushion testing and pressure injury prevention. The practical takeaways are clear: wheelchair belts are positioning devices, not car seatbelts; cushion choice should consider tissue viability, positioning and function; and pressure injury prevention is far easier than treatment.Barend has decades of experience in wheelchair seating and standards development. Listen in for a practical, clinician-friendly conversation that turns standards into everyday prescription decisions.Subscribe, leave us a review and share this episode with every clinician and wheelchair rep you know!Email us :We’d love to hear from you.
