Tips For Use - Joerns Oxford Sangles Standaid Deluxe Manuel De L'utilisateur

English
Fitting the Deluxe Standing Sling
1
Place sling down behind client's back between
base of shoulder blades and bottom of rib cage.
Attach strap around the front of the client. This
strap need not be tight. It is there to hold the sling
in position whilst attaching the sling to the stand
aid. Ensure that the client's arms are outside the
sling.
NOTE: THIS SLING IS NOT A GENERAL-PURPOSE SLING AND WILL NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL
CLIENTS.

TIPS FOR USE:

CLIENT SHOULD BE ASKED TO LEAN BACK INTO THE SLING FOR THE DURATION OF THE LIFT.
TALLER CLIENTS MAY NEED TO USE SHORTER LOOPS ON THE SLING FROM THE START.
SHOULD THE CLIENT START TO LOSE TRUNK CONTROL YOU WILL FIND THAT THE SLING WILL
SLIP UP BENEATH THE ARMPITS MAKING THE LIFT UNSAFE. IN THIS SITUATION THE TRANSPORT
SLING CAN BE USED PROVIDING A RISK ASSESSMENT IS COMPLETED.
2
Position standaid so that the client's feet fit in
the foot trays and knees rest against the knee
pad. Initially attach the longer loops of the sling
to the white hooks at the end of the hand grips.
The client's hands should be placed on the black
hand grips or support handles. (Once the client
is used to the lift, the shorter loops may be used
to achieve a more upright position). Then push
the up button on hand control to raise the client
to the standing position.
