15. Consider different patterns or ways of raising the client:
a. Short setting of the standing arm results in a more forward leaning
position that requires more muscle strength in the legs. Suitable
for a shorter and more active client.
b. Long setting of the standing arm is more suited for a weaker
patient who needs training. Suitable for a taller client.
16. Instruct the client about the lifting.
17. Caregiver positioning: The caregiver should stand on the side of the lift
and press the up button on the hand control. Watch the foot placement
of the client and ensure that the ThoraxSling does not slip.
18. Raise the client to a position where they can stand upright. It is
important to note that some clients might not want to stand upright for
fear of falling forward.
19. If needed have the client adjust their hand positions to the frame of the
MiniLift.
20. Unlock the wheels of the MiniLift.
21. When transferring the patient, close the leg-spreading of the MiniLift and
move the MiniLift so that the patient faces forward.
22. Perform desired activity: e.g. transfer, standing training, toileting.
23. Once client is in the desired standing position, move the MiniLift to the
intended transfer position.
24. Lock the wheels of the MiniLift and the wheelchair, if the client is to be
lowered there.
25. Positions the client’s hands on the standing arm’s handles.
26. The caregiver’s position should be standing to the side of the MiniLift.
Use the down-button on the hand control to lower the client.
27. If possible, encourage the client to lean forward during the lowering so
that is resembles standing up without aid.
28. Lower the standing arm and ensure that the client ends up positioned
well in the sitting position (e.g. in a wheelchair).
29. Let the client remove their hands from the MiniLift, extend the standing
arm and detach the ThoraxSling completely from the MiniLift.
30. Unlock the MiniLift wheels and carefully remove the client’s feet from the
MiniLift’s footrest.
