Operating the Stedy
General
If necessary, slightly offset the Stedy in relationship
to the resident/patient. This is possible with a smaller
resident/patient providing there is enough room for
the resident/patient to have easy access to the Stedy.
Tell the resident/patient what you are going to do.
Pivot the two seat halves up and push the Stedy to
approach the seated resident/patient from the front
(see Fig. 1).
Carefully position the Stedy, close enough to the
resident/patient to enable his/her feet to be placed on
the footboard with his/her knees comfortably against
the padded kneepad (see fig. 2).
WARNING: Ensure there is sufficient
space underneath and to the sides of the
resident/patient’s chair/bed etc. to achieve
full entry with the Stedy.

Apply the castor brakes (see fig. 3), and instruct the
resident/patient to hold onto the crossbar.
Encourage/help the resident/patient to achieve a
standing position (see fig. 4).
