Application of LiftSeat when the user is sitting in a wheelchair/chair or in bed
Pull the leg supports out along the outside of the thighs. Sit facing the user
and pull the lower edge of the leg support, so that the sling slides into place
around the hips. Light pressure against the user's knees prevents him/her
from sliding forward in the chair.
Transfer or lifting
4
Hold LiftSeat in one hand and grasp the lower edge of the sling with your
other hand. This is easier if the user leans forward or can be helped to lean
forward slightly. Guide the sling down behind the user's back, by sliding
it along the back of the chair/wheelchair or along the bed, ideally, to the
tailbone.
Take care to guide the sling down to the user's hips. Do this by pushing the
sling into the space in the back corners of the wheelchair seat.
After checking to ensure that the leg supports are of equal length on both
sides, place them under the user's thighs. Both leg supports should be under
both of the user's legs.
Choose handles: On the leg
sections are two alternative
handles. Choose the most
appropriate handles accord-
ing to the width of the user.
!
Plan the transfer so as to minimize lifting.
At the back, there are han-
dles at two levels; choose
the handle that enables the
best working stance.
