Symptom: Patient is complaining of groin or harness discomfort.

1. Possible Cause:

Resolution:

The harness wrap and/or the groin piece are
not tight enough.

The harness and groin piece should be securely tightened from the start.* The
harness wrap should be tight enough to grab on to the fatty tissue around the
abdomen. The groin piece should then be tightened securely to keep the
harness from riding up on the patient and creating unwanted pressure in the
groin area. A towel or a piece of foam can be wrapped around the patient’s
abdomen for added padding if needed.

Symptom: Harness is riding up on the patient causing pressure in the groin piece area

1. Possible Cause:

Resolution:

Groin piece has slack, harness rides up mak-
ing groin straps the only source of support

The bottom two straps on the harness wrap must be tightened securely, the
top one only if it rests below the rib cage. Applying the harness and groin
piece loosely will cause them to slide upward.*

Symptom: Frontal overhead straps are causing discomfort in the chest area of female patients.

1. Possible Cause:

Resolution:

The distance between the overhead straps
places load on breasts.

Use  an  extender  to  increase  the  front  panel  size  and  distance  between  the
overhead  straps  possibly  avoiding  the  chest  tissue.  Conversely,  the  harness
wrap  placed  on  the  patient  with  opening  in  the  back  results  in  overhead
straps getting closer to each other in the front.

Troubleshooting - Harness

Symptom: The overhead straps slip off of patients shoulders

1. Possible Cause:

Resolution:

The overhead straps are too far apart.

Place the harness wrap with the opening in the back. This will bring the over-
head straps closer to each other.

Symptom: The patient cannot stand to properly position and tighten the harness and groin piece.

1. Possible Cause:

Resolution:

Patient is too weak or unsafe to stand

Apply the harness in supine position. Avoid harness application in sitting as it
reinforces flexed hip position.

Symptom: BiSym Display is Not Reading Weight

1. Possible Cause:

Resolution:

phone jack connectors and one that connects to the top of the LiteGait®.
Confirm that the cables are securely attached to the BiSym display.

NOTE: If load cells are connected properly and the BiSym continues not to read weight, contact Service & Parts Department for

further information.

Symptom: BiSym Display is Not Reading Zero When No Weight is on LiteGait.

1. Possible Cause:

Refer to Zero Calibration Instructions from BiSym section of manual.
