ADDITIONAL ERGONOMIC RECOMMENDATIONS
CERVICAL SUPPORT
A cervical support is optional on the Evolution chair. It can be used to increase
comfort by allowing the head to rest on the back of the chair in a tilted position.
The cervical support should be positioned at the base of the head and neck in
order to fill the space according to the user’s comfort.
POSITIONING STRAP
The positioning strap is optional on the Evolution chair. It is recommended to
use it in order to maintain a good pelvic posture while benefiting from chair’s
postural equipment. It is also recommended to stabilize the pelvis in order
to have effective propulsion with the hands and feet. The positioning strap
must be well-fitting, so that a hand with the palm open can pass between
the strap and the user’s body. Never use positioning straps as a means of
restraining the user. Improper use can result in serious injury or even death.
FOOTRESTS
Using footrests is optional on the Evolution chair. However, it is recommended
to use them when the chair is being pushed by another person to prevent
injuring the patient’s lower limbs.
GETTING UP
To get up from the Evolution chair more easily (always do so in the presence
of another person who has received training):
•
Apply the brakes on the chair’s 2 central wheels (performed by the user
or a caregiver).
•
Raise the tilt of the chair to a straighter position in preparation for transfer
(performed by a caregiver).
•
Store the footrest inward if applicable (performed by a caregiver).
•
Slide the buttocks to the center of the chair.
•
Place the feet under the seat.
•
Lean on the armrests with your hands.
•
Lean forward while looking straight ahead.
•
Get up by pushing on your feet and hands, then straighten up.
