HOW TO FIT FROM SEATED POSITION

GOLDEN RULE: LONG IN THE LEG, SHORT IN THE SHOULDER

Ensure  the  hand  grips  and  seams  are  on  the

outside and feed the sling down the back of the

client, leaving the top of the commode aperture

at the base of the spine. Check the sling is square

at the shoulders.

Bring the longest leg piece stiffener forward so

that it is parallel with the long bone of the thigh.

Ensuring that the leg piece is not twisted, take

the  shortest  leg  piece  stiffener  under  and  up

between the legs. Repeat this procedure for the

other leg. Cross strap A through strap B.

Pass strap C up through strap B then repeat for

other leg using strap D through strap A.

Check  the  sling  is  smooth  under  the  and  the

position  is  comfortable.  Move  the  hoist  into

position  and  attach  the  leg  straps  at  the

penultimate  loop.  Raise  the  hoist  and  attach

the short loops at the shoulder to maintain an

upright  sitting  position.  The  hoist  may  move

towards the client as you do this. When reseating

the client, the hand grips may be used to ensure

good posture.
