attachment bracket is also removed before
starting therapy. Failure to do so could
lead to serious injury.

The chassis legs may be opened or left
open to give better clearance for the
patient.
Note:
The ‘straight line’ steering lock (if
fitted) can be applied over the rear
castor as an additional aid if required.
Note:
Fig. 33
To have better flexion for the leg it may be
necessary to slacken the leg straps slightly,
this allows better leg movement.
Note:
Warning:
Do not unfasten or release the
attachment cords at any stage other than
when the patient is seated and fully
supported.
Make sure there are no obstructions in the
path before the patient is encouraged to
walk.
Warning:
When refitting the Proactive
Pad, make sure the pad is reinserted, re-
tightened, and covers the support bracket.
Failure to do so could lead to serious
injury.
