• Remember to take in to account the shoe height when
setting heights. If the shoe is 1” thick then add 1” to
your measurements.
• When taking a person from a horizontal loaded
position to a standing position inset the tray only after
they are half way up to avoid blocking their vision. This
makes the process less stressful for the user.
• When securing the hip belt in supine, load the person
in then secure the belt around them making sure it is
tight. This is the key point in terms of getting a good
standing position as it stops the user from slumping
downwards when standing and loading the knees.
•
Always secure the client’s hip belt first and then next
secure the laterals, knee cups and shoe holders.
