Stand behind the client and prepare the sling so that
the finished side is to the outside, away from the
clients 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
clients 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.
