FreeStep SAS System Operation
CAUTION:
Never leave a patient unattended on this device. Check all cables,
harness and fittings before each use.
CAUTION:
The FreeStep SAS uses a special harness to support the patient. It is
vital that the harness fits properly on the patient. Refer to the video available
on the Biodex website.
Using the Standard Unweighing Harness
Figure 2.2. Standard Unweighing Harness.
The FreeStep SAS can be used with most two-point harnesses. The harness that is supplied
with the system provides maximum support for patients needing consistent body weight
unloading. It also provides increased trunk stability. A two-panel design allows for a wide
range of adjustability and easy application in sitting and supine positions, while a unique
pelvic support piece prevents excessive pressure in the groin area.
