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.
