System
FootStool is used to raise the position of the knees and thereby enable safer, easier bed-to-wheelchair transfer in a
seated position. FootStool also provides good support under the feet during visits to the toilet, or when repositioning
farther back in a chair. FootStool is made of a material with closed cells, which makes it easy to keep clean.
Visual inspection
Check the condition and function of the assistive
device regularly.
Check Safety
Always read the user manuals for all assistive devices used during
a transfer. Keep the user manual where it is accessible to users of
the product. Always make sure that you have the right version of
the user manual.
The most recent editions of user manuals are available for down-
loading from our website, www.directhealthcaregroup.com.
Always read the user manual
Place the FootStool under the user’s feet when the user is sitting on the toilet or in a wheelchair.
FootStool is recessed at the front to allow the caregiver to place a foot as close as possible to the
stool. The back also has a small recess to facilitate placement close to the toilet.
Placement of FootStool
Using FootStool
FootStool complements other assistive devices
such as EasyBelt/FlexiBelt, EasyGlide and SitWalk
to facilitate transfers between two locations or for
repositioning, for example, farther back in a chair.
Since the knees are raised, the thighs are also lifted
somewhat, which reduces friction and makes the
transfer easier.
