Operation
To safely place a client in the Dynamic Stander, immobilize the unit by applying the
wheel locks.
Release snap hooks or buckles on one side of seat pad and center strap of seat
pad, allowing seat pad to swing out of the way.
Release one side of top strap and swing it out of the way.
Carefully place the client into the stander from the back.
The seat pad should be placed under the client’s buttocks. If the client is non-
weight-bearing, position it at an angle appropriate to bear the client’s weight. If
the client is weight-bearing, the pad should be positioned vertically.
The top strap, with fl eece in back, should be placed under the client’s arms and
fastened behind the client’s back.
After placing the client in the unit, review the following checklist:
• Is the bottom of the body support below the knees?
• Is the top of the body support about nipple level or lower?
• Are the feet placed under the hips and as far forward on the platform as
possible without causing discomfort?
• Is the body properly aligned?
• Is the body support adjusted to the proper width?
• Are all the straps fastened and snug?
• Is the client free of discomfort?
When removing the client from the stander, ensure that the client is suffi ciently
supported as straps are being released. Begin by releasing restraints from the feet
and work upwards.
