5.3. Using the legs straps
Option 1: Crossed legs straps. For maximum safety, cross the legs straps. This will
reduce the risk of forward pitching and also maintain a better alignment of the
hips and lower limbs (Figure 5).
Option 2: Looping the leg straps together. If the patient is an amputee or feels
this is more comfortable, place each individual leg strap under both legs. Ensure
that the patient is not prone to spasm and that there is no risk of forward pitching
(Figure 6).
Option 3: Uncrossed leg straps. Apply each leg support under each leg, but do
not cross the straps. This can be recommended when the patient has abdominal
sensitivity or requires intimate hygiene (Figure 7).
