Why Correct Wear Matters

Wearing the SoterCoach device correctly ensures accurate movement tracking and effective real-time feedback. Improper placement can reduce the device's effectiveness and compromise data quality.

Spine Program – Shirt or Safety Vest

Placement

Clip the device onto the midline of the back collar.

Orientation

The button should face outwards.

Clothing Tip

Avoid loose or baggy shirts. They may cause the device to hang away from the body, reducing accuracy.

Best Practice

Use snug, stable fabric like a t-shirt or high-vis vest.

Shoulder Program – Armband

Placement

Worn between the shoulder and elbow on the dominant arm, unless the non-dominant arm is more active in the worker's role.

Orientation

Device button facing outwards; USB charging port facing down.

Consistency

Wear on the same arm each day for consistent data.

Headset Adaptor (Optional)

Fit

Clip the device firmly onto the headset, ensuring a secure fit.

Best for

Roles where shoulder or spine clips aren't feasible but headset use is constant.

Helmet Adaptor (Optional)

Place the Velcro pad provided on the back midline of each helmet.

Step 2

Apply pressure to all areas of the Velcro — especially the corners.

Step 3

Snap the device into the adaptor, then press the combined unit firmly against the Velcro to secure it.
