cause discomfort for the user or in worst case injure the user. The adjustment of the speed is step-

Standing up / Sitting down user:
Press and hold these remote-control buttons to use these
functions. Release the button to stop the stand up/sit down motion. This raises the Innowalk seat
from sitting to standing, and back again. During standing the operator needs to pay close attention to
the users legs and especially the knees and hips to make sure that the seat is not raised more than
suitable for the users joint mobility and positioning in general. During standing up/sitting down the
operator should apply some pressure on the guide-strap with his/her foot to maximise the best user
body alignment during this operation. The level of pressure is dependent on the user weight. Best
practice is instructed during operator training of the product. Before standing up / sitting down the
hip belt needs to be loosened (not removed) to avoid pressure on the stomach and hip area.
Under the seat there is a scale that shows the level of inclination between sitting and standing. When
the responsible person sets up the Innowalk for the user, the max standing inclination the user shall
be raised up to, should be noted down. During use the inclination must never exceed the noted level,
as this can cause injury to the user.

Seat height up/down:
Press and hold these remote-control buttons to use these functions. Release
the button to stop the stand up/sit down motion. The seat height buttons on the remote control rise
and lower the seat height (measured from the floor to the seat). This is particularly beneficial in for
transferring from a wheelchair to the Innowalk seat. Lowering the Innowalk seat equally to where
the user is transferred from, allow easier and more comfortable transfer or self-transfer. Make sure
the seat height is adjusted back to the defined seat heigh, with careful supervision, before the user is
raised up into standing. A scale is located on the lifting column under the seat to allow the operator
to easily stop the seat at the desired height. Usually the users starting sitting position is around 90
degrees at the knees with the feet are attached to the foot plates.
Tip: For easier transfer the swivel seat function can be used (manual) in combination with adapted
seat height.
Every time a button is pushed, a beeping sound can be heard from the Innowalk. This is an
acknowledgment tone. This is normal.
