4.10.1 Lifting from chair
-
Apply the Thorax standing sling with the lower edge right above the waistband.
-
Increase the width between the legs of the hoist and move it to the chair.
-
Approach the client and place his/her legs on the base plate.
-
Push the hoist as closely to the client as possible
– brake the hoist.
-
Adjust the knee support so that it provides support right under the knees of the client.
-
Lower the lifting arm.
-
Place the lifting straps of the sling in the hooks of the fork-shaped lifting bar.
-
If the client can hold on to the lifting bar with his/her arms during lifting, use the middle step of the
suspension strap.
-
If the client has but little stability and strength in the upper part of the body, use the outermost step of
the suspension strap.
-
Tell the client to lean back in the sling and look up.
-
Now lifting may be commenced. If required, support the client during lifting.
-
Lift the client to standing position.
-
To prevent the sling from sliding upward, place the straps in a loop.
WARNING!
Make sure that the feet of the client do not get jammed between base plate and floor.
NOTE!
We recommend lifting the client approx. ¾, so that the knees are slightly bent. Be aware
of the pressure on the knees/lower part of the leg.
