Can this be used as an across the body resting on the hip sort of arrangement..my mom weighs 88 lbs and needs to even my distributeweight.

Yes, this can be used as an across the body carrier. The strap can be placed on the carrier so the oxygen tank is carried either horizontal or vertical. I tried it on before answering this question and I had the straps set so the tank was horizontal and it was comfortable. Hope this helps.

The strap is fully adjustable to allow the case to be worn across the body with the tank on the hip. With a an O2 cylinder in the case, it might weigh in the neighborhood of 4-5 lbs. As your Mom only weighs 88 lbs my concern would she be strong enough to carry it?

if you mean like a shoulder bag left shoulder to right hip .yes the stap is long enough for that. that is the way my husband used it.

I don't use the shoulder strap because it tends to slip and fall off my shoulder. I just carry mine by the handle attachment...

Works wonderfully across the body. My mother wears hers like this all the time.

It can, but I'm not sure it would be comfortable for her due the weight of the cylinder. Have you tried a back pack? Has her oxygen supplier offered any solutions; sometimes they can be helpful. You could get a carrier on wheels (similar to those traveling suitcases, then she would only have to pull it and not worry about the weight shifting on her body.

I think so. My mom was about 230 pounds but we could roll her into Our shower.. Had lip taken out. Solid and I weigh almost 150 and think it would have worked like that for me.

I use this belt with my sister and she said it doesn't hurt. Believe me, she would complain if it did. She is about 5'1" and weighs about 190 lbs. She has very little balance and we have to support her with the belt. As a caregiver, this belt is a wonderful tool and much better than the plain gait belt.

Maybe if you have two... There are ways to use that can stretch your hip flexors. But if you're primarily looking for a full split stretcher, this is not the one.

You can check the item detail to see if it can. If you're one person the weight will not be distributed evenly.

Not at all. This is only a support for the groin area and actually puts some strain on the hip when in use.

No, it's pretty bulky and uncomfortable to even put in a chair behind you and leaning back on it..you'd have to lay on your stomach and put on your back. I had the best luck using it on my hip as I cut put it beside me fairly comfortably.

Sure, don't see any reason why you can't. Across the shoulder is just better on your back and neck.

no it should be fine with the one you have if not later you can get a different one .my moms frame was fine and by the way great buy and very comfortable .good luck

You probably COULD, but it wouldn't be a good serve. The brace is very supportive but really not good for using your range of motion - there's not a lot of "give" to it.

Not sure, I think this is designed for upper leg support and I would guess that it would be more uncomfortable for your hips.

At the lowest setting this would be perfect for your Mom. However, the unit itself is heavy. You will need to ether keep in in one place or have someone able to easily lift 30+ plus pounds to move it from one location to another. It is also a bit bulky. It is tricky to lift by the pedals because they rotate.

We, my wife and I , used once last summer. It was not comfortable.. The weight of our bodies, total about 285 lbs. cause it to sag at the middle . Looking for some way to sell at half of what we paid. Its ok for one person.

This is not a recumbent bike, so I personally don't think it would qualify. Hip movement is similar to any upright bike in the sense that the angle of leg to torso can be 90 degrees or even less. The leg is extended to greater angles on a recumbent bike.

You could, but that's not actually good for your back, especially for someone who is overweight. Also, there would be nothing to keep you from going past vertical, so it might be very difficult to right yourself, and you could cause other injury.

I don't think so. The point is to lay down on it so that all your weight is applied...

It's quite difficult and clearly isn't designed to use it alone. It's rather bulky and heavy. That said, I have put it on my back and held it in place for my hips and gotten some relief. But it's best to have someone who can follow the instructions and give you a massage!
