3a. Leg Rest Operation
Locate the lever on the right-hand
side of the leg rest.
Manual Format:
The leg rest can be elevated to promote
comfort during periods of rest, manage
oedema, or to achieve a change of
position:
1. Locate lever at the right-hand side of
the leg rest.
2. Squeeze the lever then lift or lower
the leg rest to the desired angle.
3. Release lever to lock the position.
4. To lower the leg rest, squeeze the
lever and push the leg rest to return it
to it’s lowered position.
•
Never leave the user unsupervised in
the chair with the leg rest elevated.
•
Leg rest elevation should only be
used within the ranges tolerated by
the user based on their knee range
of movement and should not affect
pelvic stability.
Motorised Format:
On the motorised format chair, the leg
rest elevation is controlled by the handset.
The top row of two buttons control the
elevation. The left hand button raises the
leg rest, and the right hand button lowers
the leg rest.
3. Leg Rest
The SmartSeatPro
II
has an integral leg rest which can be elevated to support the legs.
The leg rest mechanism articulates, following the movement of the knee as it elevates
the legs. The leg rest incorporates visco-elastic memory foam for pressure care.
•
Ensure the leg rest is fully lowered before transferring an individual into or out of
the chair.
•
The range of leg rest elevation is from 60
o
to 160
o
. The range of elevation
tolerated by the user will depend on knee range of movement. If tightness in
the hamstrings muscles or contractures in the knees are present then to ensure
comfort and postural stability it is critical that the leg rest is not over-elevated.
Close attention to the length of time the leg rest elevation is utilised is also
needed.
