Liko Ultra LiftPants • 7EN160181-03
Connect the rear suspension straps onto
the rear hooks on the sling bar, or onto the
rear sling bar. Connect the front suspension
straps to the front hooks on the sling bar or
to the front sling bar. The outermost strap
loop is the most commonly used.
Before assisting the patient to his/her feet:
Make sure
the patient has a steady footing on the floor to lighten the
load during the raising. Run the lift slightly upwards to apply
tension to the suspension straps without lifting the buttocks,
and make sure that the loop straps are providing adequate
support around the patient’s upper body.
During the lifting operation:
Pull the lift forward in the
direction of movement so that weight transfer takes place
properly until the patient is upright and well-balanced.
Fasten the hip strap’s buckles and pull tight. Depending on the size
of the patient, either one or both hip straps may be fastened from
the standing position.
When the patient has gained his/her
balance standing, the lifting height is
adjusted to provide appropriate relief with
help from the LiftPants. Gait training can
now begin!
