After visiting the toilet
1. Pull the pants up as far as possible
towards the crotch.
Place the leg support midway between
the hollow of the knees and the waist-
band.
2. Raise the patient and pull the pants
up. Ensure that the arms are outside.
Do not lift higher than necessary.
The arms are usually held outside the
sling, but may also be kept inside the
sling. It the patient has poor muscle
tone, the arms must be led outside.
The leg supports are crossed before
they are hooked to the slingbar.
