After all these preparations it is time to start with the introduction to the use of
culla-balance
.
No pre-regulations made!
It is important to get the patient to know the aid and its functions. Normally patients are not
afraid of using it; very often they react with enthusiasm and pleasure. Persons who tend to
have vehement and uncontrollable movements should never be left unattended for safety
reasons.
For „anxious“ people, who are afraid of using
culla-balance
, the following procedure is
advisable: when the patient is trying
culla-balance
for the first time he should not be left alone,
but should be accompanied by quali fied personnel or the therapist and a family member. They
place themselves in front, nex t to or behind the patient, they convince the patient to sit down
carefully and then move
culla-balance
slowly and with caution.
These cautionary measures give the patient a great sense of security, especially if at the same
time he gets an explanation of what is happening.
Initially it is necessary to try to reach a movement by pushing at constant speed. Limited
distances, whether for “daring” or for “anxious” patients, are advisable, as they produce a
useful effect of orientation and progress.
LATERAL TRANSFER
culla-balance
has a removable height-adjustable headrest that allows a subjective setting of the
device and functions as a backrest extension. The shoulder section is larger to give more
freedom. The footrest has an ergonomic design which support s the calves. The comfortable
front-side entrance facilitates the transfer. The pleasant concave shape adapts to the body
offering support, security, warmth, and replicates the embryonic position.
The removable armrest allows easy and safe lateral patient transfer without help of lifters, thus
avoiding physical discomforts for the attendant.

dealer/therapist is necessary. There are instructions to be considered for the optimal use of
