Sling Positioning
Stand behind the client and prepare the sling so
that the non-fabric side of sling behind the
client’s back
Ask client to lean forward slightly to enable sling
to be slid down client’s back and under buttocks
such that inguinal strap edge of sling rests along
the clients gluteal fold.
Encouraging client to shift their weight to one
side will enable the sling to be slid under the
elevated hip. Repeat on the other side to
facilitate sling positioning. (This will quickly
become easier as residents understand the
objective and improve their ability to assist.)
Wheelchair arms can be removed or tilted
upward for easier access.
Inguinal straps should be visible between clients’
legs and freely accessible for fastening to Velcro
attachments once the client is standing.
Ensure clients’ buttocks are centered on sling
such that there is an equal amount of sling
visible on either side of the pelvis and metal
rings when brought together in front of client are
centered.
