Use the Transfer/Walking sling for
walking (12 steps)
(190 kg - 420 lb maximum patient weight)
1.
Identify the attachment straps on each side of the
sling body and attach the cords (Loop Lock method
as previously shown in Fig. 17).
When both cords are attached correctly adjust both
cords equally so that the slack is taken up, but does
not pull the patient forward.
2.
Make sure the attachment cords are locked down
into the cord retaining cleats. (See Fig 27)
3.
Allow the patient to hold the handgrips with their
arms resting on the Arc-Rest.
4.
Slacken the adjustment on each body attachment
strap (if required), enough to be able to connect the
attachment clips to the lugs on the outer sides of the
Arc-Rest. (See Fig 28)
5.
When the patient is ready, operate the lift button on
the handset or dual control to raise the patient, at the
same time encourage him/her to actively stand.
(See Fig 29)
6.
Continue to raise the Arc-Rest until the patient is in
a comfortably supported standing position.
(See Fig 30)
7.
If walking practice is to be carried out make sure the
patient is correctly and comfortably supported,
adjust the body attachment straps equally to take up
any slack and be supportive but not too tight and
make adjustment to the Arc-Rest as necessary.
Warning:
Lock the attachment cords
down into the cord retaining cleats.
