Currently used systems require specialized belts to stabilize rescuers-astronauts in relation to the patient-astronaut. There are also techniques that do not use any modules / straps (adequate patient capture), but their effectiveness is not sufficient. The developed system allows the rescuer - astronaut to be wedged against the module using only the lower limbs by bending them in the joints and thus using the angles formed in the knee and ankle joints. The use of additional muscle strength of the rescuer's lower limbs allows for a stable position and free movement of the upper body in relation to the module, facilitating resuscitation. The fact that no seat belts are required allows for much faster rescue actions.
