Adjusting Seat Height
Adjust the Sit2Stand seat height as appropriately needed for various patients
(approximate level of SI (sacroiliac) joint.)
To raise the seat, simply pull it up by gripping the two handles on either side of the
seat. To lower it, pull out the black knob on the seating column and push the seat
downward.

Adjusting the Assist Resist Tension Knob
Adjust the Sit2Stand Assist Resist TM tension knob so as to provide the appropriate
amount of “help” during patient exercises. By moving the slider knob downward, you
increase the tension on the elastic cord, and thus also increase the amount of assistance
the patient receives when moving into the standing position. As a general guideline, a
tension level that is equal to 20-50% of the patient’s body weight is recommended.
