K. FOOTRESTS, LEGRESTS, & FOOTPLATES
Make sure that your Sunrise dealer has correctly adjusted your footrests and/or legrests with the advice of a
healthcare professional. The original setup should not be changed without first checking 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. Legrests and footrests should be swung out of the way, or removed for transfers.
