Fasten the chest sling onto the hooks on the Stand-
aid arm. The user may keep his arms inside or
outside the sling. If the user is semi-paralyzed, it may
be necessary to keep the paralyzed arm inside the
sling.
Start lifting until the sling sits tightly around the
back. Then tighten the sling belt tighter around the
waist.
Ensure that the client feels no discomfort.
The user may hold the foam padded part of the arm
and is asked to take part (help) the lifting action. The
user should then try to hold himself as upright as
possible and look forwards.
Ask the user to press down onto the plate and to
stretch both knee-and hip-joints.
The carer may help by placing a hand on to the knee
and press the knee lightly downwards.
Continue the lifting process according to the users’
ability, until he stands as upright as possible.
From standing to sitting position:
Take Pallas 175 to the secured (braked) wheelchair,
so the hollow of the knee rests against the front
edge of the seat-cushion.
Do not break the stand-aid:
The user is lowered so that his bottom is placed on
the bottom half of the chair’s backrest. That way the
chair may tilt backwards and the user glides into the
back of the chair. This movement demands utmost
care and attention from the carer.
