The ending of upright position
1. It is essential to prepare a place in which the patient will be taken out from
a standing place. It is important to choose a room without any dangers.
2. Move a standing frame closer to a place in which the patient will be
moved.
3. Block castors from a standing frame, orthopaedic bed or other device in
which the patient will be situated.
4. When we stabilize the patient's body we should unblock the lever which
protects a servo-motor. It is important to talk as well as have an eye
contact with the patient during that action. After, we slowly place the
patient in the direction of gradient. When we obtain a proper tilt angle, it is
necessary to block the device by releasing the lever in order that a servo-
motor will be blocked.
5. Unfasten belts which stabilize foot, hips and chest.
6. Make sure that all belts and precautions do not block the patient.
7. Move the patient and place him on a prepared device.
CAUTION!
Make sure that all belts as well as fastenings
from adjustable elements are correctly adjusted and
fastened.
CAUTION!
It is forbidden to leave the patient unattended!
CAUTION!
Incorrect adjustment of the device can lead to
side effects such as: fainting, body deformities, overloading
joints. It is highly advisable to adjust the device before every
use of a standing frame. This adjustment has to be done
only by a trained person or therapist. If any of these side
effects appear, it is highly important to stop the upright
position process, take out the patient from the device and
lie him/her down. If these undesirable side-effects still
occur it is necessary to contact doctor. If these side effects
disappeared, remember to inform doctor so as to make
decision concerning further upright position process.
