Stepping up onto Treadmill (Continued)
7.
To exit the unit, reverse the process. Keep
directional casters
locked until the LiteGait® is at the end of the treadmill.
It is helpful to ensure that the
locking casters
are nudged into an outward rolling position so they do not get caught
on the treadmill as they roll.
8. Keep in mind that some patients will need to sit directly into a chair at the end of their session even if they started
the session in standing.
