Where Can I Use My LifeGlider?
The LifeGlider is intended to be used in ADA compliant interiors and
on ADA compliant pathways. Ideal surfaces are dry, flat, smooth and
free of obstacles.
•
In no case should the LifeGlider be used on or near stairs or
steep inclines, or to walk over high curbs. It is also not
intended for use on slippery or icy surfaces, or in snow,
sand, or water.
•
When using the LifeGlider, do not significantly alter your
center of gravity - for example, by wearing a heavy
backpack or carrying heavy objects.
When Should I Use the LifeGlider?
Patients who need assistance and support walking and are over 18 years
of age can use the device as needed. Discontinue use if you feel
uncomfortable or fatigued. If you are not accustomed to extended
periods of upright mobility, consider starting with short periods of use
(e.g. 15 minutes) and gradually increasing your time in the LifeGlider as
your body adjusts. Keep in mind that your brain and muscles may need
some time to get used to a new way of moving.
Directions for Use
Unpacking and setting up:
The LifeGlider is
provided in a folded position.
Unfold the sides by pulling outwards until you
hear the corner hinges click into place. Verify the
sides are in an open and locked position before
use.
