L. FOOTRESTS, & FOOTPLATES
NOTE–
Make sure that your Sunrise dealer has correctly adjusted your footrests and footplates with the
advice of a healthcare professional. The original setup should not be changed without first check-
ing with that advisor. The footrest position is key to keeping your body in the proper alignment,
and providing a stable support for your legs and torso. Footplates should be flipped-up, or
removed for transfers.
Sunrise medical offers several different types of footrests. Composite(A), Aluminum angle adjustable (B), and a
Platform Flip-up Footplate (C). Footrests can be detached or can flip back to allow lateral transfers. They are
height adjustable (1" increments) by working with your authorized dealer.
