Loop+ enables you to view a realtime indication of how your seated pressure is distributed. Your most effective seated position in recorded during calibration. This is unique to you and your seating setup.
DISTRIBUTED PRESSURE
Green is lighter pressure and blue is heavier pressure.
While you may strive to have symmetrical distribution, there are many reasons unique to your body and your seating setup that may mean this is not your ideal. You’ll work with your therapist on optimal seating distribution and position just for you.
Calibration
Your calibration also sets your unique Centred Position. This represents your body’s seated centre of pressure.
The diamond icon indicates that calibrated centre.
The target icon shows your centred position in realtime. It moves around the screen as you do.
When the target sits over the diamond you are closest to your calibrated centre.
The target becomes redder as it moves to the outside when you’re leaning.
TARE
Tapping the TARE button to ON allows you to move your Centred Position diamond to the position you are in at that moment. Once TARE is turned off, that position is gone and the diamond will return to the calibrated Centred Position.
When should I recalibrate?
You can recalibrate at any time by clicking on this icon in the top left hand corner of the screen.
You should recalibrate
Any time you change seating setup and make note of the adjustment by logging an event
If you remove the loop+ pad from your wheelchair for any reason.
